The tears shed by the 14-year-old Egyptian child Mahmoud during his appearance with the Egyptian media, Amr Al-Laithi on the "One of the People" program - accompanied by his mother's accusation of abandoning him - sparked a wide interaction among the pioneers of social networking sites in Egypt, dominated by widespread condemnation of the latter's position.

During the program, Mahmoud, who became known as the "crying child", talked about his mother's abandonment of him after the death of his father, who had separated from him, and said that she left him and did not ask about him, so he lived with his uncle, adding, "When I missed her bosom, I went to her and was surprised by her reaction by refusing to meet me. ".

As part of his speech, which sparked wide interaction on social networking sites, the child talked about being assaulted and beaten by his uncles during the time he spent with them, his bad psychological state, and his wish for death, and his uncle quoted his mother as saying, “Mahmoud for me died, and if your trouble is strong, throw him in the street. ".

After the episode was broadcast, the most prominent interaction through social networking sites was based on denouncing what the mother had done with her son, especially since the journalist Amr Al-Leithi stated that they tried to communicate with her, but she refused to participate in the episode.

I watched from a little while ago the crying child met with Amr Al-Laithi and was unable to comprehend how his family did not want him to be contained by any one of them to take him to a respected psychiatrist and also let them feel like this.

Fear God in the memories of your children, only he can take me to the house where you will be staying or to the media #Omar and Al-Laithy and I keep in touch with him I remain very thankful

I need a lot of time to know what my mother did this!!


It is enough that you remain behind and throw away.

I hope that there is a law that prosecutes mothers and fathers who throw their children and sterilize them, so that not everyone is left behind and throws them in the street, the law must prosecute these people.

A crying child for the cruelty of his mother is the worst final picture of this year,


or perhaps it is the embodiment of every ugliness we met in the year that is nearing its end - sorry, my dear little one, your tears are precious, we all cried except for that ungrateful mother. ✋

My heart hurt me from the hour of the episode of Amr Al-Laithi and #Crying_Child_Mahmoud😟 he is in a mother like this, Jadaan, something is disgusting, and they spoke to her on the phone, she says, “I will get better at home.”

I saw a video on YouTube of a little boy with Amr El-Leithy, and the title of the video is the crying child, and the most accurate address is the crying child, not the crying, a sweet and handsome child, not yet 12 years old.

Subsequently, local media contacted his mother's family, who accused him of lying and slander, and his grandmother said that during his stay with her he was performing abnormal behavior, threatening her with the "knife", while she was providing him with everything he needed.

While his uncle Ahmed Amin referred to some of the "strange behaviors" that Mahmoud was doing after he moved to live with them, including "taking his clothes and taking a shower with very hot water, then going out in the air and sleeping on the ground naked, and he was throwing up (vomit) everything he ate."

Other media also quoted neighbors of Mahmoud's family, accusing him of acting and claiming, and that the tears he shed during the episode were not sincere.

With the continued denunciation and rejection of what the child Mahmoud was subjected to, other areas of interaction with the case emerged, as some criticized the hasty accusation of the mother for what her son Mahmoud had attributed to her, calling for the need to allow the opportunity to listen to her story and respond to those accusations.

Others supported the story of the child's grandmother and his uncles, who accused the child of lying, and argued that he is a patient who needs psychological treatment, and the solution is not to hurry to hold his mother responsible for what Mahmoud's condition has reached.

While one of the interactors saw that all the elements of the case need psychological treatment, the child, his mother, his uncle and his grandmother, in addition to his uncles, as well as those who questioned his story, need psychological treatment, which has become an urgent matter for many, due to what the media and social networking sites tell their followers.

Others said that the main goal of provoking Mahmoud's story in this way is to distract the audience from what is most important. According to a tweet by one of the interacting, the authorities, in conjunction with the broadcast of the episode and its interactions, raised the price of gas cylinders.

#Mahmoud_Al-Baki

= The Egyptians were busy crying and what came from the words of the child Mahmoud, who was hosted by Amr Al-Laithi


= The Egyptians - especially on social networking sites - cursed and reprimanded his mother, but no one was patient to hear her opinion or defend herself.

@elhamy_fyroz The crying child Mahmoud's body language shows that he lies a lot.. no matter what people's judgments are about the mother.. the boy is a psychopath, a professional liar and needs treatment

— Nafisa Abdel-Fattah (@nafisaabdelftah) December 5, 2021

People while Shaima sings and cries with the acting of the crying child. Something simple happened like this. The gas cylinders have gone up in price and hands are surrendered.

The crying child Mahmoud needs psychological treatment, his mother also needs psychological treatment, his uncle who lived with him psychological treatment. Those who saw him and believed him needed to see a psychiatrist, and those who believed his pain and kept accusing him of lying and acting. We need the same psychiatrist. The foolishness on TV and social media will inevitably lead to the psychiatrist pic.twitter .com/VBMyV1dejW
