Boy buried in sewage pit; mom rescues

Three Egyptian children used a stick to stuff the mouth of another child with earth, tied him up and buried him alive in an underground sewage hole in the Arab country. But he was saved in the last minute by his mother.

The six-year-old boy, Badr Abdou, was walking back home from school in the capital Cairo when he saw the three children fighting.

He ran away but they decided to chase the boy to silence him as they feared he would tell their families about their scuffle. Just before he reached home, they managed to grab the boy and take him to a deserted place behind the nearby mosque.

“I waited for my son but he did not turn up…I was very worried and went down to ask residents in the area about him but all said they have not seen him,” his mother told Egypt’s ‘Al Mihwar’ television channel, which hosted the mother and her son.

“I then went into the mosque and used the loudspeaker to shout for my son…it seems that the three children ran away when they heard me shouting for my boy.”

The mother said she went behind the mosque after seeing the children running away, adding that she found her son buried inside an underground sewage pit.

“They had stuffed his mouth with earth using a stick so he will not scream for help…when I found him, the earth and the stick were still in his mouth.”
