QURANIC VERSUS ON CHILD ABUSE!
-
Hi Ming Lo,
I dunno if there is Quranic verse on child abuse.
But if u want to approach the subject through Quran, There is something called ''Righteousness'' which is mentioned umpteen number of times in Quran as a believer's responsibility/duty. How about pointing that?
I dunno why believers miss that bit. ''righteousness'' pretty much answers it all.It certainly should not take a text from any book for someone to see that is just wrong. There are no excuses or justification for doing that OR for not taking a child OUT of that enviornment. I would just take the child and tell that woman that either she get couseling and straighten up, or you will contact the authorities and have her put in jail and her children permanantly removed. If SHE threatens to call authorities when you take the kids, tell her to go ahead, you will inform them as to exactly WHY you are taking them.
If you do NOT remove them imediately, you are as bad as the mother, if not worse.I completely agree with Sawtooth on this. And I think u need to do something about the situation and immediately.
Peace!

Salams!
Ok, so we had the meeting last night, and it was agreed that they move in with us so we can monitor her behaviour towards the children, while she goes to this parenting course. She's not allowed alone with the children at anytime, and if she doesn't seem to get any better then the children will be taken away from her completely. Well, I feel like things will work out pretty good either way so, thanks everyone for your inputs. God bless!

So, Ming-Lo, I think your sister-in-law might also be raised up with physical abuse and that's why she's using it on her children. Maybe you should talk to her about it and tell her that it's not normal. Tell her that God says so, maybe that would wake her up.
Salams! We've tried this, and even went to a parenting convention, and just so she wouldn't think "oh, well this is how they do it in the west, not my country.", we went to one where the speakers were also Arab, and ones raised right in the country too (I believe Egypt). And for awhile we had thought it stopped, that's why they've been with them this long, because she'll make sure to be sweet as pie to them around us, but when she was around other Moroccans (or children that she thought wouldn't say anything) she would continue, and out of concern they let us know. I doubt if this other class will actually work, but it's a requirement, She's very stubborn or maybe I should say very ignorant.

Peace ming-lo. I am really happy to hear this. I hope that the children will now be safe and happy. I also hope the mother will gain benefit from this situation.(and realise her error) My best wishes also to you,your brother and family. I like a happy ending D .
Well done ming-lo D .(much Respect for doing the right thing and being brave.) -

Hi Ming-Lo
If you are in the UK then be very carefull of social services. If they get wind of whats going on they will throw your nieces in foster homes. They will never be on your side, infact probably hold you guilty aswell.
It's good that you have ineterveened. Keep at it.
peace.

Salaams all,
I have a question to ask....how many of you guys who posted in this thread have children of your own?
-
At this point, if she was to be caught by the authorities, with your knowledge f it you would totally get in trouble too.
I can't believe someone would stand by this long allowing children to be hurt by this. If I were you I would pray that the children are able to over come the damage that has already been done. A foster home might just be a godsend in this case

Peace damon. I have two young children of my own. I also witnessed some hardship as a child.

I recently saw the documentary on the Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. It exposed an ancient custom called "bacha bazi" (boy for play), where rich men buy boys as young as 11 from impoverished families for sexual slavery. The boys are dressed in women's clothes and made to dance and sing at parties, before being carted away by the men for sex. Owning boys is considered a symbol of status and one former warlord boasted of having up to 3,000 boys over a 20-year period, even though he was married, with two sons.

The child is an extension of his father and the bearer of his characteristics. During his lifetime he is the joy of his father's eyes, while after his death he represents a continuation of his existence and an embodiment of his immortality.
