Recently, incidents in Azerbaijan have raised concerns about parental attitudes towards children. Cases like the poisoning of six children and parents in Tovuz abandoning their offspring have come to light.
This neglect and dangerous behavior are being widely discussed. How widespread are these problems, and how can they be prevented?
Kamala Ashumova, head of the "Hopeful Future" Youth Public Union, stated that the Child Helpline received 362 reports of violence in the last three months. "This shows people are seeking help," she emphasized.
The NGO leader noted that reported cases are just the tip of the iceberg. The main issue is the weak early detection mechanism.
Psychologist Aysel Gafarova says causes of neglect include the parent's age, psychological readiness, and trauma. Behavior becomes risky when stress becomes chronic.
The solution lies in early awareness and psychological support. Parents must recognize their emotional state and change.
