The recent spat of child-abuse cases are really disheartening. I can't imagine a soul who would want to harm a helpless little child. Cases like the 3 years old Shafiyah Humairah who was stomped to death.
Then those daily news on abandoned new-born. Some were fortunate to be found alive...but some were not destined to share the world we live in. How could any human being be so cruel to abandon their own flesh and blood - to leave them to their fate - some were bitten by ants and bugs - some were left in the cold morning.....and worst some we simply dumped in dumpsters, in rivers, in drains....what are we turning into? Have our heart turned to this dark cold stone?

There are more depressing news in this holy month. The mentally unstable husband who killed his wife and injured his daughter. The children losing their mom and dad in a span of a couple of hours.
Then the case of a drug addict father who splashed his wife and kids with acids - severely damaging the 8 years old face and body. Imagine the life that the small girl is going to go through. Scarred - physically and emotionally - for life.
What about the rampant cases of molestation, rape and incest. We had a few weeks ago cases of van driver - ferrying primary school children to school - raping these girls. Some are molested. And these people are already married, with kids of their own. Aren't there any more fear in their heart? As parents with school-going children, off course I am deeply disturbed.
Something needs to be done - urgently - as it looks to me that our family institution, our society are disintegrating. Moral values are of no importance anymore. We have to go back to our core values. Go back to religion. I am sure all religions do not condone rape and incest....
May Allah bless us all.....
