An 8 year old Kuwaiti child was playing in the playground at school with a paper aeroplane which landed on a female teacher's lower back. He was taken to court in where he said he didn't know why he was there and was in shock. If found guilt of molestation, he faces a 5 year prison sentence. His dream was to become an aviation engineer but now he say he will have to abandon this dream.
Please help a young boy whose life could be ruined by just playing with a paper aeroplane. As a mother of a young son, my heart goes out to him. You can read the story here.

Dear Emir Sabah al-Sabah
This story was printed in the English press. I have created a petition to ask you to intervene and stop the courts from prosecuting this young boy who was just playing with a paper areoplane. This is the story:

Prosecutors are asking for a 5 year prison sentence - all the boy was doing was playing. Please help him return to his family now and without a criminal record.
Yours sincerely
