The journey of parenthood is often described as a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs, challenges, and gratifying moments. Raising children is a labor of love that requires immense patience, guidance, and understanding. While it is natural for children to test boundaries and sometimes misbehave, it is essential for parents to provide a nurturing environment where they can learn and grow. However, the story of one mother from Pelalawan, Indonesia shed light on a heartbreaking situation that challenges the norms of parenting.
However, one Indonesian mother from Pelalawan finally had enough of her wayward son and left him at the nearest gas station.
Child, please forgive me, she said in a note she left next to him. Because you are constantly causing trouble and suffering with your bad behavior, I am forced to leave you on the street. Please, sorry, boy. Self-care is important.
Residents of the area became concerned when they saw a confused 8-year-old alone at the railway station in the late hours. While waiting for the police to arrive, they called the police and took the young man to the settlement.
When he was discovered, he had a cut on his face and obvious marks around his mouth. The boy’s father became angry and violent whenever his son misbehaved and acted recklessly, according to a report from Gridstar that was translated.
According to the report, the youth assaulted his two younger brothers before leaving, and when the father returned home, he hit the boy.
The perpetrator pinched the victim’s left little finger. According to Gridstar, the attacker continued to use pliers to grip the victim’s pinky and ring fingers while she was already screaming. This was confirmed by Pelalawan Iptu Police Public Relations Officer Edy Haryanto.
The boy’s mother entered the house while the boy’s father was beating him and decided to flee with her son to protect him from his father. Parents separated.

The police are dealing with the situation at the moment. “Today, Pangkalan Kuras police summoned his parents, family, RT/RW leader, and all associated parties for questioning,” Edy explained. According to the statement: “This is to determine whether the child was indeed abandoned and allegedly mistreated by his parents. There are also signs of aggression towards the child. However, we need to learn more about the circumstances and reasons for what happened.”
This heart-wrenching incident also underscores society’s vital role in ensuring children’s well-being. It was the concern and intervention of local residents that prevented the further escalation of a potentially desperate situation. Together as a community, we must remain vigilant and proactive in protecting the most vulnerable members of our society – our children.
In conclusion, although this story is painful and disheartening, it serves as a poignant reminder of the responsibilities and challenges of parenthood. She encourages us all to reflect on the importance of compassion, communication, and seeking help when faced with parenting difficulties. Every child deserves a safe and loving environment in which to grow and thrive, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that this is maintained.
We are sorry that parents abuse their young children. No matter how naughty a child is, using force against them is never a good idea.
