BATH

The stepmother of a 14-year-old boy who suffered serious injuries during an alleged underage drinking party Saturday night has gone public with his name, in the hope that it will wake parents up.

Rashell Alfaisalawi said Monday her stepson, Ali Alfaisalawi Jr., was to be released later in the day from Maine Medical Center in Portland after surgery to his stomach. Ali Alfaisalawi, who lives with his birth mother, also suffered back and leg abrasions when he either jumped or was pushed out of a window during a party on Old Brunswick Road last Saturday night, she said.

He will spend the next couple of days in drug and alcohol counseling, Rashell Alfaisalawi said.

“This kid could have died,” she said, “and no one’s taking it seriously enough. I want parents in Bath to know how serious this problem is. They need to know where their children are going.”

Bath police Lt. Stanley Cielinski said Monday that Bath Rescue took a boy who had jumped through the window at an Old Brunswick Road residence to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. Cielinski said the boy was transferred to Maine Medical Center for further treatment.

The boy suffered a long, deep cut to his back, but the injury does not appear to be lifethreatening, he said.

“I’m looking at a picture of the cut,” Cielinski said, “and it’s serious.”

Cielinski said people at the party told police the boy had been drinking heavily.

There were people as young as 13 at the party, and upward of 20 juveniles took part, Cielinski said. There were no adults present, he said.

Charges of furnishing a place for minors to consume liquor and illegal consumption are pending against the 16-year-old boy who hosted the party, Cielinski said.

Police took a call at 10:17 p.m. that someone was injured near the Puffin Stop at 230 Lincoln St., Cielinski said. They found the injured, bleeding boy and were able to locate the party on Old Brunswick Road, he said.

“There were signs of the partying, a broken window and blood,” Cielinski said. “Officers conducted lots of interviews. Many of these juveniles are people we’ve been dealing with all summer.”

The juveniles are suffering from a lack of parental supervision, Cielinski said.

“They’re letting the kids run,” he said. “Some of these kids have been accidents waiting to happen. They’ve gone from one problem to another.”

Rashell Alfaisalawi provided a tape recording of what she said was an interview with the boy who hosted the party. She also took photographs of what she said was the window her stepson fell through.

Alfaisalawi said she tracked down the boy who hosted the party on Sunday at the skate park. The boy lives with his mother in Harpswell, and had the party at his father’s home, she said. The father was away at the time of the party, she said.

Alfaisalawi played the tape she said she recorded at the skate park. She told the 16- year-old — who did not know he was being taped — that he was in “a lot of trouble.”

“Your (expletive) son ran through my glass,” a voice responded. “It was his fault for running through the glass.”

The voice then asked Alfaisalawi not to hold his father responsible. Alfaisalawi asked for names of all the juveniles involved, but the voice refused.

“I feel like (expletive) for what happened to your son,” the voice continued. “I don’t feel like everybody else should go down.”

Alfaisalawi said her stepson walked, bleeding heavily, a quarter of a mile to the Puffin Stop to report his injury.

“His clothes were soaked in blood,” she said. “He told his father he was jumped at Puffin Stop. He didn’t want to say what happened.”

Alfaisalawi said the boy definitely had been drinking.

The boy had told his father he wanted to go to the skate park, and the father gave permission, she said. The boy’s mother expected him home at around 8:30 p.m., Alfaisalawi said.

“Next thing she knows, the Bath Police Department goes to her house and tells her what had happened,” Alfaisalawi said.

Alfaisalawi said her husband knew she had contacted a reporter, and did not object.

“Everybody in the town of Bath knows what happened,” she said. “It’s all over Facebook.”
