BBC News - Birmingham mother 'doused daughter's body in acid'
A three-year-old girl was repeatedly stabbed by her mother who then doused her body in acid, a court has heard.

Alia Jama's mother Iman Omar Yousef, 25, from Birmingham, has been declared unfit to stand trial.

A jury at Birmingham Crown Court has instead been asked to decide if she unlawfully killed her daughter, but to disregard any question of intent.

The child's body was found at a house in Milverton Road, Erdington, in February.
'Shocking sight'

James Burbidge QC told the jury that on the day Alia's body was found two officers from West Midlands Police went to the address after concerns were raised by Yousef's mother.

"What they found was truly a shocking sight," he said.

Alia was found on the floor, with her body in a state of decomposition.

She had been partly covered with bin liners and the officers could smell what appeared to be acid, Mr Burbidge said.

Several stab wounds had been inflicted with what looked like a large kitchen knife, although no weapon was found, he added.
Litmus test

Pathologist Dr James Lucas, who carried out a post-mortem examination, said there was "extensive corrosive damage" which hampered any interpretation of her injuries, making it hard for him to ascertain a cause of death.

Experts have been unable to identify what corrosive substance was applied to Alia's body, but a litmus paper test indicated it was an acid rather than an alkaline, Dr Lucas said.

He said Alia had not swallowed any of the acidic substance and was either unconscious or dead when it was applied to her body.

The court heard that the day before Alia's death Ms Yousef, an asylum seeker of Somali origin, had been visited by social workers and by police.

Mr Burbidge said Ms Yousef was reluctant to allow social service access to Alia's medical records but took her to a GP for a check-up later that day where she was found to be healthy.

He said Ms Yousef's mother and aunt, who lived in Leicester, had had concerns for her mental health, saying she was acting strangely and talking to herself.

Her mother told police she had removed knives from her daughter's possession on two occasions, the court heard.

The case, which is being heard in Ms Yousef's absence, has been adjourned until Tuesday.

There's two key elements here which make the authorities complicit, albeit inadvertently, in the sickening murder of this little girl.

Firstly, as was mentioned in a report the previous week regarding the 'baby P' case, it was officially stated "parents are being put before children by social services in cases of abuse" Read: mothers are put first by biased social workers. Secondly, the police also being indoctrinated with their fair share of feminism, but also the systemic politically corrected fear of offending minorities clearly blinds them in upholding the law equally across all demographics.

I've said it before, social services needs to be cleansed from top to bottom from ideological impurities to even begin functioning anywhere near their official remit.
