Bonnie Mbuli has recounted an incident where he ex-husband called the police to arrest her 10-year-old son.
According to her, she was with her son one of these recent mornings when he broke down crying as he shared a heart-wrenching story with her.
She stated that her son narrated how one afternoon not too long ago, whilst her two kids were with their father, their father suddenly told him to get out of the house because he needed to speak to his brother.
His son then stated that he did as he was told and while roaming the corridors, he spotted two armed policemen entering the flat.
Upon his return, he asked his brother what had happened, and his brother was too traumatized to talk about it.
She added that the father of her kids had actually called the police to intimidate my ten year old son for a silly fight with his older brother that had happened days earlier.
She indicated that during the fight, my younger son pulled out a fork in the kitchen and playfully threatened his older brother with it.
Sharing this, she wrote;
“Men need to be held accountable for misusing state resources to intimidate women and children, I’ve written an article about a heart wrenching incident where my Ex-Husband called the cops on my 10 year old son.”
Social media users who have seen the post and read the article shared their thoughts. Some of the comments read;
@HulisaniRavele – I’m so sorry that you and your sons are going through such an awful experience Bonnie. Lifting up in light and love and wishing you all healing. Please let us know if there is any tangible help you need. We’re here, we hear you, we stand with you.
@NtsikeleloNM – So a child pulls out a fork on a sibling. The father calls the police to show the child the seriousness of his unacceptable behaviour. Now we say the father is in the wrong! Next time that child will actually use the fork to stab and traumatise the brother if not disciplined.
@BuhlePhiri – Thank you for sharing. What’s concerning, though not underplaying anything else, is the fact that he is adopted. As an adoptive parent myself I am aware of the loss, trauma adopted children face from their past ..to add to that as an adoptive parent is heartbreaking
@MsPuo – This is so painful to read. This traumatized the kids so much, and if 10 year old know he’s adopted, i can only imagine the psychological damage he’s suffering. What if the child had jumped from 4th floor to run away from the police? Strength to u Bonnie as you do what it takes
