“Lam Shamseya wasn’t just a series, it’s reality” Public Demands Justice for Yassin
Allegations Surface Online
A widely circulated story on social media has drawn public attention to the case of a six-year-old boy named Yassin, who was allegedly subjected to repeated sexual abuse by an 80-year-old staff member at a well-known school in Damanhour.
The school nanny allegedly escorted the boy to the perpetrator on multiple occasions, with the child remaining silent for months due to claims of receiving death threats from the man. Only after the child was moving countries, did he bravely decide to speak out on the abuse.
Reported School Response
When Yassin confided in his teacher, she did not notify authorities but instead took him to the school principal.
According to the allegations, no official report or investigation was initiated by the school. Instead, the child was only encouraged to physically strike the accused with a stick to “get his right back” by the principal.
Forensic Evidence and Public Reaction
A medical examination reportedly confirmed signs of prolonged abuse, including trauma to the anal area, which the reports link to repeated sexual assault.
Yassin also disclosed other forms of abuse, including being forced to participate in oral acts.
Public reactions have been strong, with many calling for the removal of the alleged abuser, the nanny, the teacher, and the principal from the school.
There have also been appeals for other possible victims to come forward before the scheduled court hearing on Wednesday, April 20.
Ministry of Education Responds
In an official statement, the Ministry of Education confirmed that the incident dates back to February 2024, and remains under investigation. The ministry emphasized the need for accurate reporting and stated that legal actions will be taken once a final verdict is reached.
It also reiterated its commitment to student safety and school oversight.
