Shafeeq, a five year old boy, in a ventilator of a private hospital at Kumily of Idukki district, has been fighting for life since last Tuesday. His condition has been brought about by unimaginable physical torture by his father and stepmother.
Further details:-
(a) Sherif, all of 27 yrs, is a daily wage worker and has been staying in a rented house at the first mile
in Kumily. He's the father.
(b) Aleesha, aged 26, is the stepmother. She has a baby girl from her first marriage and another from
her marriage to Sherif.
(c) Young Shafeeq is the second of two children from Sharif's first marriage.
(d) Shafeeq was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state by his father and stepmother saying
that the boy had suffered head injuries after falling from a ladder.
The findings of the doctors tending the young child at the hospital are horrifying:-
(a) Burn marks all over the body.
(b) Scars on the skin caused by pinching.
(c) A deep wound on his head.
(d) Left leg, broken at two places below the knee and one of the fractures has happened sometime ago.
(e) He's in an extremely critical condition.
My take.
My dear li'l Shafeeq,
1. What wrong have you done to get such awful parents?
2. I must admire you for the enormous reserves of strength that you possess. How did you manage to
absorb all the pain - both physical and I'm sure mental too?
3. I admire your struggle to survive despite your horrifying experiences in life, thus far. You're a fighter and
here's my sincere wish and prayers that you recover earliest. I would also like to play a part in your
rehabilitation and show you that life can be much better.
Love. An agonising uncle.
Tailpiece.
God, pse look after the little child and do not make him feel the pain.
PS.
And God, if I may ask, why have you blessed these brutish people with children? Haven't you erred?
