The authorities’ decision to entrust a five-year-old child to his abusive parents has sparked widespread concern. A serious incident, first disclosed yesterday in Janjevë of Lipjan, has led to the arrest of two parents under suspicion of systematic abuse against their young son. The situation prompted a swift response from various institutions following the child’s admittance to the University Clinical Center due to significant injuries to his legs.
KOHA reports that seven children from this family had previously resided in residential care for several years. This arrangement concluded after a ruling by the Basic Court in Pristina, which determined to return the children to their biological parents. Sociologist Genc Xërxa strongly criticized this particular decision, labeling it as fundamentally erroneous.
He highlighted a critical failure by relevant institutions regarding the child’s well-being and proper care. Sociologists and representatives from the Mental Health Center have collectively assessed the event as a grave matter. The circumstances surrounding the old child and his parents have raised serious questions about the effectiveness of protective measures and the oversight of vulnerable families.
The case underscores the need for robust safeguards and a thorough evaluation of institutional responses to ensure the safety and welfare of children in similar situations.
