I believe the stories of Christoper Kapessa (13) and Shukri Abdi (12) need to be shared everywhere. These two beautiful children were murdered in the U.K. by racist bullies from their schools a month apart in 2019.
Shukri came to this country in 2017 as a Somali refugee and was bullied relentlessly at her school - Hazel Wood High School formerly known as Broad Oak High School (Greater Manchester). If you’re wondering why their name changed it’s because they tried to rebrand after her death. Shukri’s mother had told the school many times that her daughter was being bullied with the bullies sometimes following them home. The school REFUSED to intervene. Shukri was pushed into traffic on one occasion but was lucky to get out in time. Her murder: Shukri was forced into a river by these same bullies; they knew she could not swim. They taunted and laughed as she drowned. Police closed the case almost immediately, ignoring key witness accounts and substantial evidence that showed a pattern of racial abuse and threats from Shukri’s murderers.
Similarly, Christopher was also pushed into a river in South Wales where he lived. Christoper could not swim either and his killers watched him drown. CPS believed there was sufficient evidence that pointed to Christoper being pushed into the river yet they refused to prosecute his murderers. This case was closed just as soon as it was opened because his murderers were deemed ‘mature’ with ‘good school records.’
These cases received little to no exposure and the police helped to protect these children’s murderers. Who’s story has also been hidden? If the children in these areas are racially abusing and murdering black children so openly, what else is going on?
Here are some petitions you can sign which demand justice for Christoper and Shukri.

If I could wash my hair and body with dish soap I fucking would.
Stranger: Wow, you're so pretty.
Me: Aww, thanks.
My friend, who I have a crush on and I don't know how to deal with it: Wow, you're so pretty.
Me who has no idea how to flirt and is blushing profusely: What? How dare you?
Hi everyone I would like you to meet my new friend, Johnathan.
He is a baby rollie pollie and I love him.
I was talking to a kid in my daughter’s class today, and she said that she thought it would be fun to write a story about the Titanic, but with supernatural creatures.
So I said, “Yeah, that would great! What would the creatures do? Would they save the Titanic from sinking?”
And she gave me the most disgusted look. I have never seen a 9 year old face look so appalled.
“No,” she said, speaking very clearly so as to never be so grossly misunderstood again, “they’re going to eat the passengers.”
God I hope she lets me read it.
Most people I went to highschool with had a job at 16 and were expected to pay for their own food, insurance, and part of the rent.
