Child Abu&e-Sandra

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandra,

 

Thank you for replying to my plea of help. After a week in hospital for the

baby, the parents now have a Child carer living with them to over see everything

they do. They now realise where they were going wrong and this was through

ignorance not malice. With my support and full time practical support I am

hoping this was a disaster abated by all who care.

 

Blessings, Iona x

this test/task I would have refused it but it is here facing me and I want to

share it with others who will understand. Some may know that I work part-time as

a Spiritual Adviser to a group of people who are of various faiths. I had a few

problems with the manager at first as his ways and manners left a lot to be

desired. As I got to know him I found his heart was in the right place and he

was good at his job.

conducting a Naming Ceremony for her. Over 70 people are attending. As our

meetings are held in the office next to their home I see the baby all the time.

I had noticed that their house was not very clean but as I've been told I'm & nal

about cleaning, I guessed it was just me being fussy. I had also noticed over

time that the baby was not thriving and many times she looked as if she was

dead.

went into hospital. After two days the baby was let out and given a regime for

feeding and regular Child Authority visits. I learnt from others that they had

fed the 9wk old baby ice cream and bread. She showed improvement for a few weeks

but then took another down turn. As I held her one day I could see bruises on

her face and neck.

She is malnourished, bruised, dirty and has a broken rib. I'm in tears as I

write this as and some may know that child abuse is something close to my

heart and in my own childhood. I work hard to raise money for such children, and

recently raised 200 UK pounds for them by cutting off 20yrs growth of

dreadlocks.

support in times of stress and trouble. No one has been there for him. On one

hand I want to shout at him for the treatment of the baby. To scream at him and

take the baby away from them for ever and make sure they never have another

child. There was a meeting today at the baby's hospital and 20 officials turned

up to support the baby, whereas the manager & girlfriend had no one. Now they

have asked me to support them at the next meeting. What can I do?

themselves and have no idea how to look after a baby. Everything they have done

wrong has been partly due to ignorance and having bad parents themselves. It's

like children having children and while I 100%agreeee that the baby is being

abused, it has not been out of malicece but ignorance and inability to even look

after themselves properly.

my answer would have been " NO WAY " . But what other answer is there? I feel I

should help them but what they have done is awful.
