Another wrote in disbelief,
“How old was the child?? I was shocked by the FBI report! She must have been very young for his wife to freak out and call the police. I’m thinking younger than 15 😢. She needs a really strong support system for a very long time especially once she realizes how wrong it was for her mom to do that 😢. Otherwise she’s going to be really messed up growing up. May Allah protect her and guide her to the straight path and hold all those involved accountable.”
