Mentally Ill Mother and Baby Left Outside Police Station Spark Concern
I was at an eatery yesterday when I saw a woman with mental health challenges carrying an 8-month-old baby. She was begging every customer for money. The eatery is right in front of a police station, but the officers did nothing while the child stayed with her. It bothered me that they turned a blind eye to the woman’s and baby’s safety. I keep asking myself why a vulnerable mother has a baby in her care and which government agency should step in. Rumour has it that ritualists sometimes exploit mentally ill women for fortification purposes.
