Omg this kid doesn’t deserve 20 years in prison for protecting his own mother! This is fucking ridiculous. It was definitely a defense. He’s 13 years now, just imagine how traumatized he must be after watching his mother getting sexually abused and brutally beaten by a stranger? I am sure, if the boy was white American he would be carried carefully out of the house and would be given probation. That’s how white privilege works all around the world.

Here you can sign a petition.

My heart broke. Please, share to raise awareness.

yall really gotta stop believin every story you hear on tumblr. jesus christ.

first, i tried to find the story, the top result being this change.org petition followed by a bunch of stories that were completely unrelated. 

well that didnt work, let’s be a little more specific…

the one result that was relevant came from a site called wnews.world whose front page looks like a goddamn tabloid had sex with a hipster minimalist web designer.

you can find a link to the related story here, though i recommend against clicking and giving them any kind of attention. CW: death.

finally, i attempted a reverse image search, which didn’t provide anything more helpful beyond twitter accounts retweeting this same exact thing you fuckers fell for.

but i did find another article, which tells a different story.

huh that picture looks familiar….

but wait, what’s this?

a picture of the same kid at a different angle?

and one of him with his mom, also at a different angle?

AND PROPERLY NOTATED?

you can find the real article here:

please stop blindly believing everything you see on the internet. i do it too sometimes and i need a slap in the face when i do. i hope you take this as your slap in the face.

i have nothing but love for you and only want you to be aware about the things you believe in. false stories like this spread like wildfire because they were created just to be shared as many times as possible to make money for the organizations that create them. 

dont give them the attention they dont deserve.
