A law protecting youth rights is blocking justice for Mobarak Adam’s family
For nearly two months there has been silence around the violent death of a ninth grader across the street from his West Seattle high school. No details about exactly how 15-year-old Mobarak Adam was shot, nor who was responsible, though police have a pretty good idea who was there.
While the King County medical examiner ruled the boy’s Jan. 23 death a homicide, Seattle investigators say they may never be able to provide his family with essential information surrounding it — let alone hold anyone to account.
