The Dubai Police recently\ndemonstrated another act of compassion by caring for the children of a widowed\ninmate until she is released. The mother, concerned that her children would be\nseparated by social care institutions due to their different ages, had kept\nquiet about her children being home alone without care, electricity, or water\nfor weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brigadier Marwan Abdul Karim\nJulfar, director of the General Department of Punitive and Correctional\nEstablishments, explained that the women’s prison had received an inmate whose\ncase is still pending in court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At\nfirst, the woman chose not to mention her children,” “but later, she\nopened up to our officers and expressed her concern about her three children\nbeing left alone in their flat, without water, electricity, a breadwinner or\nguardian,” he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Waiting\nfor her wage arrears, the widow had gone through financial distress and failed\nto pay the due rent and utility bills,” Brig. Julfar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brig. Julfar pointed out that\nthe mother hid the fact that she had left her three children (aged 9, 12, and\n15 ) alone at home, hoping she would be released within a few days to appeal\nher pending case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The\ninmate did not worry at first because she had asked a friend to look after the\nchildren and visit them from time to time until she is released,” he\nindicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brig. Julfar confirmed that,\nin coordination with the Child Rights Protection Department of the Sharjah\nSocial Services Department, they ensured the three children were not separated\nper the mother’s wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The\nbest solution was to find a foster family to receive them until the inmate is\nreleased from the prison,” “A Dubai Police female employee stepped in\nto embrace and care for the children until their mother is released. Meanwhile,\nour Humanitarian Care Department ensured the three children receive monthly\nexpense payments and settled all overdue rent and utility bills,” he\nexplained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi,\ndirector of the Women’s Prison in Dubai, reaffirmed their keenness to embrace\nand support inmates until they serve their sentence and go back to the society\nand contribute to its progress and peace, adding that the Punitive and Correctional\nEstablishments’ objective is also to help inmates start afresh by enrolling\nthem in different rehabilitation, education, sports, cultural and religious\nprograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Once\nthe inmate told us that she had left her children alone at home, we immediately\ncontacted the Child Rights Protection Department of the Sharjah Social Services\nDepartment, who showed a high level of cooperation towards ensuring the\nchildren’s best interest. “We agreed that a foster family would receive\nthe children legally and take care of them until their mother is\nreleased,” she continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col. Al Zaabi confirmed that\nthe three children are living together in good health and are in regular\ncontact with their mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inmate could not hold back\nher tears and extended her thanks to Dubai Police for their support and efforts\nto embrace her children and put a smile on their faces. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
