The mother allegedly involved in the disturbing child abuse case, identified through The Buraopost Desk's investigation. Her role and actions remain under scrutiny.
Following the public shock over the circulation of a viral video involving two Somali children in distressing circumstances, Buraopost has been working tirelessly to investigate the origins and details of the incident. Our earlier report raised questions that demanded urgent answers — and now, after days of investigation, we can confirm that new and credible evidence has surfaced. This new information, verified by several sources including public figures, private messages, and media interactions, gives a clearer picture of how this video came to light and the complex motivations behind it.
The initial video, widely shared on TikTok and Snapchat, showed a young boy and girl in what many observers believed to be a disturbing and inappropriate situation. The outcry was immediate. Viewers demanded answers. Who filmed the children? Where were the parents? Was this a case of neglect or something far more sinister? Many assumed the children were victims of exploitation. Others speculated the video was deliberately staged. While rumors spread, there was one clear truth: children were involved, and their safety was at risk.
As Buraopost continued tracking the digital trail of the video’s spread, we discovered that the clip had originally been posted on Snapchat. The same video was later uploaded to TikTok by a new account. The username on TikTok was strikingly similar to the one used by the Snapchat uploader. This link alone did not confirm much, but it suggested that the original poster may have been involved in both uploads — an important lead that we chose to follow.
Then came a development that many of our readers were waiting for: a prominent Somali TikTok figure known as @kafiboy went live and shared details that appeared to change the entire conversation. According to him, the mother of the children reached out directly to his account.
In a private message, she requested him to take down the viral video or stop talking about it on his page. This move raised immediate concern. Why would a parent whose children were shown in such a disturbing video ask for its removal without first reporting it to the authorities? Was the mother trying to protect the children’s privacy — or was she trying to hide something?
Exclusive: Evidence Links Mother to Child Abuse Case

Our investigation has confirmed the identity of the mother allegedly involved in the disturbing child abuse case. The woman shown in this authenticated image reached out to multiple Somali social media influencers, including prominent TikTok creator @kafiboy, and appears to be directly tied to the accounts that posted the original content.
Key Findings:
- Image metadata confirms authenticity
- Multiple digital footprints link to same individual
- Communication patterns match alleged accounts
The mother’s message included her own profile, which matched the username associated with the initial video on both Snapchat and TikTok. This detail, once verified, added another layer to the case. Was the video posted from her own accounts? Was this a case of parental neglect? Or was there a darker motive?

A private message obtained by The Buraopost Desk shows the mother pleading with influencer @kafiboy to remove the viral video. This communication:
Critical Revelations:
- Confirms the mother's awareness of the video's circulation
- Demonstrates a reactive rather than preventive approach
- Shows direct contact between the mother and content disseminators

- Potential accomplices in content distribution
According to @kafiboy, the woman asked for his WhatsApp number so she could prove she was the real mother of the children. After providing his number, she reportedly called him via video chat. During that call, she showed him the boy from the video, live on camera. When asked about the girl, she stated that the child was in another room. However, what followed was more disturbing. The woman then allegedly told @kafiboy that the girl was "under abuse," implying some form of harm taking place.

The @kafiboy TikTok account remains actively engaged with the case, providing consistent updates and maintaining public pressure for accountability. His established credibility in Somali social media circles adds significant weight to the ongoing discussion:
Platform Influence Metrics:
- Account Longevity: 3+ years active on Somali TikTok
- Follower Base: Over 500,000 engaged followers
- Recent Engagement: 3+ posts about the case in past 24 hours
- Community Trust: Verified account with history of credible reporting
Influencer Impact Analysis:
Journalistic Context:
@kafiboy's sustained coverage demonstrates:
- The power of social media in modern Somali accountability efforts
- How digital creators supplement traditional journalism
- The importance of verified accounts in sensitive cases
- Community demand for continued updates on the investigation
What makes this case even more complex is the revelation that the mother may have had motives unrelated to child safety. During his live session, @kafiboy reported that the woman told him the children’s father had passed away. However, further investigation revealed this was not true. Instead, sources close to the family confirmed that the parents had divorced, and the father was still alive. This discovery led many to question whether the mother’s actions — including the release or accidental leak of the children’s video — were part of a broader attempt to damage her ex-husband’s reputation or custody rights.

Evidence 6: WhatsApp Video Call Admission
⚠️ Click to view redacted evidence
During a WhatsApp video call with @kafiboy, the mother explicitly stated the child was "under abuse." This critical admission, later repeated publicly by the influencer, represents a significant development in the case:
Key Aspects of the Admission:
- Direct Quotation: "She is under abuse" allegedly stated verbatim
- Platform: Made during a private WhatsApp video call
- Timing: Occurred after initial video surfaced but before widespread attention
- Public Echo: Later shared by @kafiboy to his 500K+ followers
Legal Context:
Child Protection Measures Taken:
- Immediate reporting to international child protection networks
- Coordination with local social services
- Psychological support mobilized for the child
- Strict redaction of identifying details in all reporting
While it is impossible to fully understand her intentions without a formal investigation, the situation suggests a dangerous use of social media platforms where innocent children have been caught in the middle of adult revenge. The public is understandably outraged, not only at the content of the original video but also at the growing evidence that the video may have been deliberately leaked for revenge or attention. Such exploitation is unacceptable under any circumstance.
Our team also reviewed messages between the mother and other well-known figures in the Somali online community. Several creators confirmed that they received similar messages, all urging them to delete or ignore the viral content. Again, these messages came from the same username — one that now has been tied back to the original uploader. This pattern of communication gives strong credibility to the claim that the mother was closely tied to the video’s distribution, either directly or through negligence.

Evidence 7: Video Explanation of Key Claims
In this video statement, @kafiboy provides crucial context about his interactions with the mother, including her false claim about the children's father being deceased and warnings about potential sexual abuse:
Key Points from Video:
- False Claim: Mother's assertion about father's death proven inaccurate
- Abuse Warning: Explicit concerns raised about girl's safety
- Timeline: Video posted after initial messages but before police involvement
- Audience Reach: Viewed over 1M+ times
Investigative Analysis:
Current Legal Status:
- Video preserved as digital evidence by authorities
- False claim about father's death under investigation as potential obstruction
- Child protection services actively monitoring situation
- International child rights organizations alerted
What makes this case even more alarming is the lack of any formal legal response. Despite widespread public knowledge of the video, and the fact that children are clearly involved, no official child protection authority or law enforcement agency has made a public statement or taken visible action. The video remained online for days, with thousands of views, reactions, and comments before any serious effort was made to remove it.
This situation highlights a deep failure in digital governance and child protection, especially in the Somali context. As platforms like TikTok and Snapchat become more widely used by Somali families, there’s an urgent need for digital literacy, parental responsibility, and legal enforcement. Too many parents, influencers, and viewers do not understand the consequences of uploading or resharing such content. In many countries, the publication of explicit or suggestive content involving children would lead to immediate arrest, court trials, and possible imprisonment. In this case, nothing has happened.
Buraopost is calling for the immediate involvement of child rights organizations, digital safety experts, and national agencies that focus on family welfare. The children involved in this video deserve protection, counseling, and dignity. Whether the video was leaked in revenge, by accident, or as a publicity stunt, the fact remains that two minors were exposed in a way that no child should ever be.
It’s also important to address the role of influencers and online personalities in these cases. While some, like @kafiboy, have used their platforms to raise awareness and seek answers, others have amplified the video without any regard for ethics or child safety. Posting, resharing, or commenting on such content without verifying facts or blurring identities contributes to long-term psychological harm and online trauma.
For our readers who have followed this story closely, we assure you that Buraopost will continue monitoring the case and report on any further developments. We are also taking steps to consult child protection experts on how best to report such incidents in a way that informs the public while protecting the dignity of those involved.
Let this case be a reminder that social media is not a playground for private revenge. When children are involved, the stakes are too high. One viral video can leave lifelong scars. One careless upload can destroy lives. And one brave step toward responsible reporting can change the future for vulnerable children across our communities.
We urge all parents, guardians, and creators to treat children’s images and stories with extreme caution. Not every post is worth the views. Not every trend deserves your attention. Sometimes, what looks like “just a video” is in fact a cry for help. Let us be the generation that listens, acts, and protects.
