A new video of the child went viral on Tuesday, showing him again driving a car with his friends. The judge reiterated that he respects, reveres, and has had the honor of implementing Egyptian law in the courtroom for thirty years. Police apprehended the boy the day after the first video went viral, as public anger mounted over his entitlement and disregard for the law. Egypt’s Public Prosecution acquitted the boy of any charges on Sunday, releasing the 13 year-old back to his parents on the condition that they would correct his behavior. The prosecution said that its decision was based on Egypt’s Child Law and upon the recommendations of a social worker.
