Whom to Trust???
We are afraid to leave our child at home…..because you never know who would interact with your child while you are away….But how many of us have a choice to stay home and be with the kids? But can you be on the outlook 24/7….it’s impossible…It’s not a matter of you being at home or not…If the fathers and the mothers are abusing the children than who would not…
The recent news of the Kulhudhuffushi father, abusing his two daughters really shocked me. Well. it’s not the first time we heard such a news, but the story itself was really difficult to digest. We live in such a small community and we know each and each other’s business. It’s difficult to hear that the community knew about this for the past 5 years. The fact that the children were kept out from school, the mother was involved in this throughout….. Why didn’t she come out…was she that helpless…to sacrifice her own children just to save a marriage…A marriage????
The most difficult question is whom can we trust? A father and a mother are the only people a child looks up to seek protection…We as parents are suppose to protect them…but when we become the devils whom can the child trust…..But how can we live in this fear…I just can’t understand how a father or a mother can do…on top of that…think of doing such a thing…I am sure they would have loved and nurtured those children at some stage….I am not a psychologist neither a psychiatrist….. So I might not know the psychological changes that might take place in a person’s mind….But all I know is that it’s such an inhuman behavior, and these people are not humans.
Would this have happened, or gone this far if each one of us has taken the responsibility, at the community level, at the government level or at an individual level…….All I know is that we can never be that helpless…to sacrifice our own children….
