GUILTY NY - 30 injured in Manhattan bombing, 17 Sept 2016 *Ahmad Khan Rahimi arrested*

[katydid23]

Doesn't seem anything of the sort to me. I haven't seen a thing suggesting that the suspect in this case was abused in any way as a child. In fact his classmates seem to remember him fondly (at least from what has been reported), and nobody said any child abuse was going on. Here are his classmates saying he was well-dressed and funny.

"Nothing out of the ordinary,” he said. “We remember him being well-dressed, and when he did talk, it was not abrasive, it was funny.”"

I do not know if he was ever abused by his mother. But she was charged with child abuse in the past:

Another person at his last known address on Elmora Avenue in Elizabeth, Najiba Rahami, 51, was arrested in 2010 on child abuse charges. Those were dismissed in 2011 after she completed a pre-trial intervention program.

Charges couldn't possibly relate to him-in 2010 he was an adult.

He wasn't a child in 2010. He was 22. Not sure how old siblings are.

Charges were regarding corporal punishment on a 7 year old sibling. Clearly not him, he wasn't 7 in 2010.

Of course not. But if his mom was charged with child abuse then she may have been a long time abuser. I doubt she was a stellar mother than suddenly became abusive.

 

[katydid23]

Right. But if she abused her youngest children, there is a good possibility she was abusive towards the older ones too. Just wondering...

Given what we know about him reacting violently to his family members himself, and knowing that his mom was charged with abusing his younger sibling, it makes me think she was abusive towards him as well

 

[jjenny]

It's a culture clash. Her charges were regarding corporal punishment. She was administering punishment perfectly acceptable in Afghanistan, but of course you can get in trouble for that in US.

That notion doesn't fly, for me. His mom wasn't in her homeland, at the time of the abuse.

 

[jjenny]

That doesn't fly. for me.

I am not sure what doesn't fly?
"For most Afghan families, corporal punishment is completely normal and is expected to be part of a child’s upbringing."

[katydid23]

Corporal punishment is legal in Afghanistan even for adults, so I am not sure what doesn't fly?

She has been in the US for 20 years already. She knew it was illegal to beat her children here in this country.

 

[jjenny]

It's a part of her culture where corporal punishment is normal part of upbringing. Regardless, how would that explain why this perp lashed out at US?

Not biting on this anymore, for now, seems besides the point either way, as you would have it too, if I'm reading the significance you see in it right, with all due respect.

Since there was abuse as children, then what changed for him, or didn't change for him later, when he turned out his bomb stew?

His Dad was said to have sent him to Pakistan to straighten out, in some MSM. Is that accurate?

Where was he and with whom in the Fall, Winter and Spring of '15 and '16, during holidays, weddings, funerals, etc...?

Catch any movies with his kids, family, friends, special events etc...?

Nobody noticed nothing? I hope people with clear answers to those question get in touch with LE, asap.

 

[jjenny]

As far as I can tell he went to Pakistan as an adult and got married there.

She came as an adult. What you would consider abuse would not be considered so in her home country. And regardless, what does it have to do with this case? We have someone who appeared well adjusted while growing up, become radicalized in recent years.

"Of course, she was exaggerating, but it goes to show how deeply corporal punishment is ingrained in the Afghan psyche. Many people think that a child who isn’t physically punished won’t end up being raised properly."

To me it could indicate how she treats children. His violence towards his own family indicates long standing issues.

Children around the world react to pain. Is an Afghan child impervious to beatings? Because female genital mutation is cultural, it does not inflict harm? Child marriage is cultural so no biggie to the child bride?

He is a nut, Seems like domestic violence is part of the disturbed profile of men lash out as well.

Yes, obviously that's what I was talking about.

 

[Inthedetails]

Just want to say, the bombings are not the mom's fault.

Hm. Parental violence is never a plus in a child's life

Stabbing relatives is well adjusted?
