Dareen's father accused of abducting her half-brothers
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 06 - 04 - 2017

JEDDAH — A Saudi man who was previously involved in an infamous child abuse case has been accused of kidnapping his two sons from another wife, Makkah newspaper reported.
The case of Dareen, who was brutally attacked by her father who sent a video clip showing the abuse to the infant's Syrian mother in Madinah, outraged the Saudi public and made headlines in the international media early this year.
Dareen's 29-year-old father was also married to a Saudi woman, who later divorced him.
The man has two sons from the Saudi woman. A judge ruled in favor of their mother and gave her the children's custody. The father was allowed visitation right once every two weeks.
The father came to see his children one day and took the boys, who are five and six years old.
The mother filed an official complaint claiming the father had taken her two sons for two weeks but would not return them to her. The mother also said she had evidence that he had abused them.
The mother believes that with her pieces of evidence the father would lose his visitation rights. She is afraid that her two sons would be abused just like their half-sister Dareen.
The mother claimed that she handed her sons to their father on March 23. She said this was not the first time the father had kidnapped his sons from her. He previously took them from her for six months. She was not able to retrieve them until she filed a police case. The police found the two boys at their grandfather's house.
"I am concerned about the mental and emotional health of my sons. Their father is not ashamed of acting badly toward them and in front of them. The two boys are very young and they need the embrace of their mother. I am also concerned about their academic performance. Their father takes them out of school and does not care about their future. He should lose his visitation rights," said the mother.
The man was arrested when his divorced Syrian wife, Nareeman, posted the video clip showing him slapping Dareen on a social media platform, pleading for help to rescue the infant from her father's torture.
Officials from the Ministry of Labor and Social Development took Dareen from the home of her paternal grandfather in Makkah and transferred her to the home for the protection of children ahead of reuniting her with her mother.
Twenty-three-year-old Nareeman, a Syrian citizen, married her Saudi husband four years earlier, but the marriage contract was not authenticated even though it was approved by both families. When Nareeman insisted on authenticating the marriage contract after the birth of Dareen, her husband divorced her and kept the three-month infant in his custody.
The Personal Status Court ruled in favor of Nareeman and gave her the custody of Dareen.
