This is beyond true… Most of my friends have had such incidents, always from a servant/driver or neighbour. in most cases they were too worried to tell their parents, and even when told, parents never took them to the doctor to see what happened. Its easy to ignore or forget than to deal with it. This is one of my biggest fears as a mother. I keep no help in the house for precisely this reason, but who knows what tomorrow will bring and who knows where the sinners hide. May Allah protect us and our children…

broke my heart..

i absolutely agree with the writer and to fix it out we need to fix the root causes. we need to figure it out, attitudes our wannabe attitudes are leading us to what is unbearable unreadable.

Sadiya this is a truly touching post and I completely agree with you on never leaving the children alone to drivers, househelp etc. I often tell everyone that if it were not for the fact that I live with my very supportive parents inlaw, I wouldnt be in a fulltime job. I do not allow my children to be driven alone with the drivers, let alone leave them at home. Its not just child molestation that is an obvious but often neglected risk, but in the current times, in case of a security related incident or God forbid a terrorist activity, how do you expect a person who is paid 8K or less a month to look after our child in an emergency? A definite food for thought for all of us, and esp those who rely entirely on the ‘help’.

Hard to believe but these are tough realities of our society. But I’m glad you have raised your voice against it. It’ll surely help in creating awareness. Nice effort Sadiya!

i can only say what i read in a column written by Javaid Chaudhri (translation) “if i cant take care of my children than i should not use my name just to fill the box and stop calling my self a human”

This is indeed sickening, but I also agree that parents should never leave their children to the care of others, who are only there for money and God knows what other benefits or otherwise. It is the utmost duty of parents themselves to take care of their children, and no one else.

(Today this is just a girl you are reading about in my article. Tomorrow it can be one of your own children. Act now before its too late)
very true actually we all are responsible for this situation. if we start doing focusing on our own responsibilities and stop thinking that our life objective is to only earn money then we are able to focus on our childrens activities.
At the day of judgement allah ask us about how did we upbring our children not about how much money we earn in our whole life.
