Children are innocent human beings.

They are born into this world, hungry for love, affection, and food. They don’t know anything at all, hence it is a parent’s responsibility to nurture the child when he/she is young.

However, there are sad cases all over the world where young children are being abused by their own parents.

These kids have never experienced love and affection from their own parents before. One of such cases is this young boy in Indonesia, Kalimantan Barat.

According to a tweet, the boy was constantly abused by his parents every day. He could not take the abuse and thus tried to run as far away as he could from them. He ended up tired and alone and fell asleep on the floor.

Fortunately, good Samaritans found the boy and took him to the police to save him.

Here’s the tweet:

Imagine if these kind-hearted people didn’t find him, how terrible would it be for him, being all alone?

He would be shivering in the cold, given that he was drenched in the rain. Not to mention, probably hungry if he were to sleep on the floor through the night.

Child abuse is truly cruel.

Rising Child Abuse Cases in Singapore

In Singapore, there has been a rise in child abuse cases. One such case is a 5-year-old boy being scalded and beaten to death by his own parents.

As neighbours, we can be more vigilant about our surroundings, and take note if there are any signs of abuse around our community.

With the support of the community, it is easier to stand up for the vulnerable.

Let’s all play a part in standing up for these helpless children when need be.
