Yes, something got in the way. Oh, what’s that word… ‘facts:)

A police investigation has found that although Theo van Gogh’s son said he was threatened and assaulted in Amsterdam, the incidents did not take place, police said on Thursday.

Van Gogh's parents said this in an interview on national television. They insisted their grandson had done nothing to provoke the assaults. In one incident, recalled Anneke van Gogh, Theo's mother, "[Lieuwe] was walking the dog in the Watergraafsmeer area of Amsterdam, and they came up to him and said, 'Is your name van Gogh?' Lieuwe said no, of course, but they beat him anyway." She also recounted how, some time after Theo van Gogh's assassination, a group of Moroccans appeared in the street where he had lived, inquiring about Lieuwe's whereabouts. It was the neighbors' impression that the visitors weren't there to offer condolences, and the police were called — but according to the filmmaker's mother, no one bothered to show up. That would have been in keeping with local officers' alleged non-action after the two beatings Lieuwe received. The cops were called then, too, Anneke van Gogh told the TV interviewer, but they declined to make an appearance. <strong>Recently, Lieuwe was transferred to another class, in another building of his school, after he'd been repeatedly bullied by Muslim pupils. His grandmother said that Lieuwe had had to endure taunts like "Good thing they killed your dad." </strong> The news of the attacks on the 14-year-old came just a day after Theo's killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, was sentenced to life without parole. Through the verdict, Lieuwe held his head high. His response afterwards was that he would send Bouyeri a postcard with the words "Theo Forever." </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.bakelblog.com/nobodys_business/2005/07/moroccans_beat_.html">Moroccans Beat Up van Gogh's Son, 14</a></p> <p>I suppose this story didn't meet the NY Times criteria for being news worthy somehow...</p> A sad story no doubt.

Moroccans Beat Up van Gogh’s Son, 14

I suppose this story didn’t meet the NY Times criteria for being news worthy somehow…
