The son of artist Mohamed Ramadan continues to attract public attention and social media discussions following a decision by the Juvenile Misdemeanor Court to place him in a social care home. This decision came after he was accused of physically assaulting a classmate inside the New Giza Club.
Severe fear and significant psychological impact
Ahmed El-Gendy, the lawyer for Mohamed Ramadan’s son, confirmed that the child, "Ali," experienced extreme fear upon learning the court date, which caused him a serious health decline and a severe stomach illness. His temperature rose, and he went into a hysterical crying fit due to intense stress and anxiety from facing an unprecedented situation.

Ongoing bullying due to his skin color
El-Gendy explained that Ali’s conflict with his classmate was merely a reaction to the constant bullying and mockery he endured from his peers because of his dark skin tone. He questioned, “Why is the child punished only for reacting, while the bullies are not held accountable?”

Details of the court session and the absentee care home order
El-Gendy stated that the court issued the placement order for the child in the care home "in absentia," after refusing to record the lawyer’s attendance and rejecting a request to postpone the session by one week due to Ali’s poor health and psychological condition shortly before the hearing. The lawyer pledged to bring Ali to the next session, but the requests were denied and the judge issued the custody ruling.

Absence of the child and the artist from the first session
Ali did not attend the initial trial session, nor did Mohamed Ramadan, which intensified the public and media controversy surrounding the case.

Request for postponement due to critical psychological state
El-Gendy requested a postponement citing the child’s psychological collapse and hysterical crying out of fear of appearing in court, especially considering his young age and inability to fully understand the legal situation he is facing.

Impact of media pressure and bullying on the child
The lawyer emphasized that since the incident, Ali has suffered from a poor mental state worsened by media attention and public scrutiny because of his famous father, which intensified his psychological distress. He added that Ali is a victim of bullying and public criticism, and that his case requires psychological care and protection rather than strict punishment.
