There is this Somali girl who goes to the same school with my niece. The problem is that her parents do not participate in her school. Every time there is a teachers and parents meeting none of her parents shows up. In this meetings the girl is left sitting alone with all the children sitting with there parents. To overcome the isolation she will join my bro and his daughter. The teachers are starting to take notice and inquiring my bro about IMAN'S (LET'S CALL iMAN). I decided to find out my self after meeting this smart and beautiful girl. I found that she is living with her mom a single mother and a young bro. The problem is the mother is not responsible, she basically chews almost all nites and sleep half the day. IMAN is left to take care of her little bro. prepare herself for school and taking care of the house. Mind you she is only 10 yrs. old.
All of these is takking it's toll on her life.
My problem is should I report this to the Children Service or just let It go. |

I agree with TIME MAGAZINE. Speak to the mother..if she acts like she don't care, look for the girls other relatives and immediate family. I know no one has time for all this...but if U R a true Somalian and a true Moslem....helping others will come automatically to U.....Allah often helps those who helps others in their time of need....Insha Allah Kheyr

This is a difficult situation, you have to ask yourself what is in the best interest of that little princess ? What cause of action would Maximise the interest of that child.
Looks like sooner or later the teachers will find out that something is not right. They will then notify the authorities.
Talk to people who know her, tell them that if they dont take care of the situation the teachers will take action. She will be torn from her family and taken away. Now, I dont know what will be more divastating to that little girl ? Living with a Mum like that or being property of the state.
its sad. |

I can't belive you can say "living with a mom like that".
Brother you need to chill, that little girl probably loves her mother more than anyone else in the world.Princess come from Queens you would do well to learn this, you need to learn some respect
Anon?, , if you wanna help the girl , go to the meetings with her if not mind your own business. Do you know what social services can do to the girl. Lets drop the European/North American citizen of the year act, if you concerned help the girl, don't point fingers at the Mother, you ain't got a clue about what she is like, or why she is like that, Allah (swt) could favour her over you on judgment day and you have no knowledge of what is in her heart. If you wanna help, help, if you don't lets not pretend we are the angel of somali girls
i am disguested by the voyerism that is in all of you, since when has causing a rift between a mother and her daughter down anything but to hurt all invloved, take it from someone who knows, leave the daughter to love her mother, is your mother perfect, what if someone turned around and took you from her?
anon Ya Allah, may Allah guide us all, and may you realise the bond between child and mother is the most special and most beautiful one we have in this dunnah, and you wanna give the child to the state?, i went to school with those kids, they had broken dreams, they were taken to the carribean every year for holiday, and brought back pictures but their eyes told a different story, would you swap your mom for a couple of holidays, exchange the high for the low? |

Talk to the somali community, they could help her whether it be a moral advice or find a home for the girl, there sure is relative that can take care of the girl. but never ever consider of reporting to the social service. not because were they send the girl, those people never did anything human, believe me no one moslim or christin ever said anything good about ss, no child is who grew in social service care ever had productive live. I know what I am talking about. these people try to punish the "may I say deseving parents" but do harm on the child.
Your brother is doing good job, why not convice him and the mother of the little girl to transfer the child to your brothers family, temporarily and the somali way, no papers to sign and things like that, while the mother gets her acts together. I know your concern but you can do better than calling social services. |

dhukumbe,
That was good shot!. but don't you understand the mom won't let the little girl go because she ens;aes her in the name of being mom. The little kid takes cares of her little brother and all house chores then take cares her self and her irresponsible mom?. I am fed up of some kind of so-called illiterate mom bitches!. The only reason she have kids is to fool around and f*uck every man alive since she can't do that when she is not married.Besides the only reason that kind of irresposibble somali bitches give birth is to make their pathetic lives litle bit interesting and ticket to fool around. |

Anon, Reading many of your none sense posts in this forums made me to believe that you yourself need help pretty bad. |

lol@ Waleed - anon means unknown and that's not one person.
Back to the subject, Talk to the Somali Community or if you are a man marry her mom to save the little princess and her mom. I do not blame the mother because people turn to drugs for a reason and maybe the mother needs help from her community aas well. Child Services are no good at all. I was a news clip where a police officer was crying laud after she handed a small boy to a child services agency. This police officer stopped a car and found intoxicated couple with a little girl in the back seat. She arrested the couple and handed the child to a notorious agency. Everything seemed nice at first glance, but she couldn't believe what she saw after she asked to see where the child will spend the nite. The good news is that news reporters were with the officer. The place was total mess with children sleeping on the floor. On top of that, these children were in a waiting list for foster families. The agency doesn't care the lifestyle of the foster parents, all they care is that can the new family afford shelter for these children. |

west came up with the best idea yet, how very thoughfull of you mr/ms west.
yes like west said why not try to marry the mother (if you are the marrying age) maybe it is a man what the house needs. |
