How would you react in this situation?

Dear vaidehi,
What a wonderful job you have, always helping some one or other. May God bless you for that.
Opinions may vary from person to person. You can't brand anything wrong or right.
A set up in a family in abject poverty is different from normal homes. Every day is survival where at times emotions have no standing. I wouldn't dump the boy with his mother, rather put him in a good home and teach him some trade or education, but no circumstance i will speak ill of his mother. If can try to nurture love for her and leave the rest to Divine. What he needs now is love and guidance and education for his future.

Do not be disheartened by disappointment you are doing a noble job. I remember when i was dealing with down syndrome kids, the parents used to be ashamed of their child even in well to do home. But some parents were so good that they used to tell we are chosen by God to take care of challenged kids since others are not able to do son. It used to bring tears to my eyes.
God bless you honey

dear vaidehi,
very delicate issueto solve or tackle. the solution depends mainly on the feelings and emotions.in this case i feel poverty plays the main role. the families cannot make both ends meet. the boy shows his anger in this manner. i feel the mother being elder can be made realise the situation. if it is possible some steps can be taken to make their life to a better level. it is easy to say but will be difficult to implement. i know. but it is only asuggestion.
with love

Dear Vaidehi

you are doing a wonderful job, pat yourself on the back.

It was right decision to enroll the boy in a school. The mother is bitter due to poverty, the missing husband and so many mouths to feed. Once she sees the boy put some effort into studying or learning a trade, her attitude towards him might change.

All the Best.

Love

 

My dear Vaidehi,
This is heart rending.I feel very sad for the child,the boy.Can't put the entire blame on the mother also.Who should be blamed?God.

Dear vaidehi
Lovely name and work also.
By imagination we cant put ourselves in those shoes as reality is very hard.
This is dear poverty ! which made every relation changed.
Thats why there are so many cases of parents selling their kids , Asking them & training for begging & many many more harsh works.
The fault is on both sides & they need a lot of counciling for that.
Dont be dishertened my dear!

 

Vaidehi,

Dear Vaidehi,

I had read this a long time ago but failed to write a fb till now.
First of all, congrats on making it to the FP 'once again' this month!!
The story of the boy and his mother sounds all too familiar. It is the same story everywhere in the world. When life is at its meanest, we get to see the dark side of humanity and the stark nakedness of emotions can be frightening.
Let us hope that your intervention has helped this boy and the mother.
