Child Dumping Is Child Abuse
Child Sexual Abuse is not the only form of abuse children are facing. Child neglect, dumping are also forms of Child abuse.
Can you imagine a situation where a woman will wake up in the morning, put her child in a sack bag and dump that child somewhere. That is exactly the case this morning where this baby was allegedly abandoned very close to the Mobil filling station at Abule Egba, Lagos this morning. A motel is close to where it was found and people are suspecting that it might have been dumped by one of the prostitutes plying their trades there. This is sheer wickedness and is punishable under the law and constitution of Nigeria.
I aslo remember a case I read some times ago where a New Mexican mother dumped her disturbed teenage daughter in a psychiatric hospital.
She was charged with child abuse after seeking treatment for her disturbed teenage daughter, who had allegedly been trying to poison her whole family.
Mary Brown, a mother-of-two from Hobbs, says her 15-year-old daughter Katie laced food and drinks in their home with toxic cleaning chemicals at least three times this year for a few laughs.
Katie has been suffering a slew of medical conditions since birth, including cerebral palsy, which resulted from a brain hemorrhage she experienced right after she was born.
“She just has outbursts, and we never know when they’re coming,” Brown told local new station KOB4.
The terrified mother said her daughter’s outbursts turned grave one day in March when Katie poured Lysol into her mother’s iced tea for making her do chores.
Brown said she immediately took her troubled daughter to the hospital to seek psychiatric treatment, but it didn’t take long before doctors released the 15-year-old.
Just three months later, Brown claims Katie acted out again, but this time she poured bleach into her mother’s soda.
The teen was taken to the hospital for the second time to be evaluated, but quickly released after a brief stay.
Brown told KOB4 that the last straw occurred in August when Katie sprayed an extremely toxic carpet cleaner all over some baked cornbread.
This time, Brown’s second daughter Kaylee and her boyfriend, Eugene Fraust, accidentally ate the poisoned food.
Both Kaylee and her boyfriend suffered severe damage to their vocal chords, forcing Kaylee to leave her high school choir. Fraust’s doctor told him another run-in with the poisoned food could kill him.
Fearing that Katie could soon become a serious threat to the family and herself, Brown took her right back to the hospital—but this time she wasn’t taking her home until Katie received treatment.
As a result of her persistent hospital visits, Brown is now facing child abuse charges for trying to commit her daughter into a mental institution.
But the worried mother claims she loves Katie and just wants her to get the help she desperately needs.
Hear what Brown said;
“I love my daughter, and all I want for her is to get the help she needs,”
This is to say there is no offense your child can commit that warrants dumping.
Child abuse should be discouraged and stopped in our society.
We can only achieve that by spreading the news and exposing the abusers.
