In another humanitarian gesture by Dubai\nPolice, the Victim Support Team at the Naif Police Station has recently\nresponded to a request from a woman in custody to be reunited with her\n3-month-old boy as she had no one to trust him with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Brigadier Dr Tariq Muhammad\nNoor Tahlak, Director of Naif Police Station, the woman was placed in detention\nas a result of a quarrel between her and a woman of African nationality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The woman approached one of our\nfemale officers and requested to see and check on her 3-month-old baby, and\nclaimed that she had no family members outside who she could trust her baby\nwith,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brig. Tahlak explained that within an\nhour, the Victim Support Team reunited the baby with his mother after verifying\nhis identification papers in cooperation with the Dubai Hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We then arranged her transfer with\nher infant to Dubai Women’s Prison in cooperation with the General Department\nof Punitive and Correctional Institutions, where the environment is fully\nprepared for such cases, including the availability of health care facilities\nand professionals and specialised nannies to take care of inmates’ infants and\nchildren.” he continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi, Director of\nWomen’s Prison in the General Department of Punitive and Correctional\nInstitutions, confirmed that prison is not an appropriate place for children.\nHowever, it is the only option for some inmates, given that there are no family\nmembers outside to care for the child until their mother’s sentence is served.\nShe noted the Department’s keenness to provide an appropriate environment for\nmothers and their children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Once the inmate arrives with her\nchild, they undergo several medical examinations,” “we make sure all\nchild’s needs are available including appropriate food, personal and health\ncare tools and supplies, and clothes, in addition to providing the necessary\nimmunisations and vacations,” she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Col. Al Zaabi explained that if the\nmother is psychologically fit and able to take care of her baby, he\/she stays\nwith her in a building designated for mothers and their children, where they\nget access to all required facilities and services in addition to medical care\nand periodic check-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the event that she is unable to take\ncare of the child and there is no one outside to take care of them, the infant\nis transferred to the women’s prison nursery, which is a separate building\nequipped with all the required services and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The nursery is operated by professionals,\nand ten specialised nannies who take care of infants and children,”\n“The mother gets to visit and spend time with her baby on a daily\nbasis,” Col Al Zaabi said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Grateful to Dubai Police <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The arrested woman thanked Dubai Police,\nstressing that she did not expect this much cooperation and attention to her\ncondition. She noted the humanity of the Dubai Police, especially the female\nofficers, who were keen to reassure her and bring her baby immediately in a\nhumane interaction that she had never experienced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In another humanitarian gesture by Dubai Police, the Victim Support Team at the Naif Police Station has recently responded to a request from a woman in custody to be reunited with her 3-month-old boy as she had no one to trust him with.
