The mother of the child with autism: We do not want to see Cristiano Ronaldo .. the case is in the hands of the police

The past few hours have witnessed unexpected developments in the case of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo assaulting a 14-year-old autistic child during the Manchester United match against Everton in the 32nd round of the English Premier League, which ended with Manchester losing 1-0 at Old Trafford. .

After the match, while Cristiano Ronaldo was leaving the stadium, he assaulted a child who was carrying a phone and wanted to take a picture, so he hit his hand, and the incident appeared in a video that spread on social media.

After the incident, Cristiano Ronaldo apologized via a video on his Instagram account, and invited the child to watch a match at Old Trafford, but the case file was referred to the police investigating the incident.

In a new interview, the boy's mother, Sarah Kelly, published by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" today, Wednesday, said that she refused Ronaldo's invitation, and that "United dealt with the matter terribly and made things worse to be honest. The way I see it is, if someone assaulted him in the street and then He asked us to go to dinner, we won't."

"Just because he's Cristiano Ronaldo, why do we do that? It's as if we owe him a favor, but I'm sorry, we don't."

Sarah Kelly confirmed that this was her son's decision.

"We turned down the offer to go to United because Jake didn't want to go there and didn't want to see Ronaldo. He made that very clear," she said.

"It's not my words, it's my son's words. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about. I affected him more than they affected me, so I gave everything he had to make a decision about him - he doesn't want to go to United, he doesn't want to go see Ronaldo. Every What I'm saying now is that it's in the hands of the police."
