A viral video showed a distressed toddler alone inside a parked car. The car’s engine was turned off, as the child was supposedly left by his or her parents to attend to personal matters.
“There is due punishment to this. If parents are found (really) at fault then we will have to get the child from them until such period that we will see that they are serious in taking care of the child,” DSWD Secretary Virginia Orogo said.
She pointed out that DSWD social workers have already talked to the child’s parents “to determine the degree of liability from leaving him alone.”
“I have asked our DSWD-NCR regional director and social workers to talk to the parents and see the degree of liability to the child,” she said.
“Why leave the child inside a car with its engine turned off? Even if the air conditioner is open, that is also dangerous to the child who can be suffocated,” she added.
Citing the Republic Act (RA) 7610, Orogo said neglecting or hurting a child can already be considered a child abuse. “When we bring the matter to the legal arena, I think our judgment towards the case is already up to the court,” she said.
RA 7610 or the “Act Providing for Stronger Deterrence and Special Protection against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination,” stipulates that child abuse includes words, action, deed, or any condition prejudicial to the child’s development.
The violation of this law is punishable by imprisonment.
Ito lagi ko pinapaalala sa kapatid ko pag kasama pamangkin ko. Ay sabi sa news ng afternoon "nakikipag inuman" daw tapos nung gabi nagmamanage daw ng bar. Hmmmmm. Hahampasin ko ng tubo yung magulang niyan.
ReplyDeleteIt happened at 4am. Mag mamanage ng bar, dalawa pa sila at sinama nila ang bata only to leave inside the car?! Kahit ano pang rason nila, they are in the wrong. They should be penalized or at least alisin sa kanila ang custody ng bata!
DeleteUhm ang narinig ko sa news na sinabi is "kakain lang" daw yung misis. Lol di na sila magkandarapa sa palusot
DeleteSo kung nagmamanage sila ng bar, ibig sabihin every shift nila iniiwan ang bata sa kotse????? Smh
DeleteWe need to see these people in jail.
DeleteAng alam ko nga nagamamanage daw ng resto kaya kumakaen sa loob,ang gulo ni momshie hahaha
DeleteDapat ipadala kay Tulfo ito. Para pahiyain ng sobra sobra yung mga magulang. Tapos ipakulong at wag ng ibalik yung anak nila sa kanila. Di maglalaon mapapahamak yung bata na yun dahil sa mga magulang niya na hindi talaga deserve maging magulang sa totoo lang.
DeleteWag naman po Jail sana agad kasi at the end, yung bata pa din yung kawawa pag ganun. siguro, bigyan sila ng lecture about proper parenting, or supervised by DSWD parang may checking lagi kung tama ba yung gngwa nila sa anak nila.
DeleteDigital na talaga ang karma ngayon.
ReplyDeleteTama yan! Kasuhan mga magulang ng batang yan.
ReplyDeleteif parents are found at fault?!? And who else ung bata? Don’t buy whatever reasons they have kasi mali yun. Maling mali to leave your child inside the car!!
ReplyDeleteThey deserve to be punished!
ReplyDelete"Investigate"????? Omg. It's clearly a CRIME. RA9262 Violence Against Women & Children Act. Facepalm. Only in the Phil.
ReplyDeleteDito sa Canada di lang basag ang salamin ng tsikot nyan, diretcho prisinto pa.
Delete12:40 naku kung sa pinas, kaso ang abot ng magbabasag at magbabayad pa
Delete2:46 korek! Sa tono ng nanay sa interview at based sa guard na yyng nanay pa raw ang galit. Malamang ibabaling ang sisi sa nag basag kung nagkataon haha
DeleteKelangan kasi ng due process. Wala tayo magagawa kasi yun ang batas. I don’t like it, you obviously don’t like it pero like I said, wala tayo magagawa but to follow the law
DeleteTo follow the law while watching a child stuck inside the car...hanggang kailan? Hanggang maging unconscious yung bata?
DeleteWas there medical care administered to the child? Sana binigyan ng wellness check yung bata. Sobrang traumatized sa loob ng mainit na kotche. Kung meron medical care nalaman sana kung gaano kataas yung blood pressure nung bata, or kung may laman ba yung tiyan baka hindi pa kumakain, was the child soiled? Etc... All those could be used against the parents for a case of neglect and child endangerment. Dapat rin puntahan ng mga pulis ang bahay ng mga parents at baka mga drug addict yung mga yan.
10:08 lahat ng sinabi is part of the investigation process diba? Kaya nga need to investigate eh.
DeleteI dont agree..there is already a crime being committed in plain view pa nga e i dont think you still need to investigate. Dapat nga hinuli agad yan e. It speaks volumes about their character. Malupit sila period. Hindi asal ng normal yung ginawa nila and they even feel justified ang sama lang na parang nas madami pa nagrereact sa chismis kaysa mga ganitong tungkol na sa realidad na may mga taong sadyang walang conscience and who are free to do the things they want.
DeleteHuhu kawawa naman si baby. Pabayang magulang
ReplyDeleteRisk for carbon monoxide poisoning lalo na if luma ang car..nakakamatay in a matter of minutes.. Kawawa talaga yung bata. Sabi nung mother may ari daw hubby nya nung resto na kinainan nya. Sana pinaprepare nalang nya beforehand para pgdating nya for pick up nalang.. Na di kelangang iwan yung bata sa sasakyan.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong,please. May risk lang ng carbon monoxide poisoning kung turned on yung AC and engine ng car. In this case, patay yung engine and aircon. I think iniwan lang nilang mejo bukas yung car window.
Delete1:20 whether they left the kid in
Deletethe car for a minute or a second eh mali pa rin yun..if they did it once maybe they gonna do it again or maybe they've been doing it for a long time
may ari pala ng resto ung asawa nia bakit di nia dinala sa loob ng reataurant ung bata.. kahit anung palusot nilang mag asawa, walang lusot yan.. maling mali ang iwan ang bata sa loob ng sasakyan khit na sabihing saglit lng..
DeleteMejo bukas? Ni hindi nga mapasok nung lalaki ang daliri nya medyo bukas? So kinakampihan mo mga magulang na yan? Whether may risk ng carbon monoxide poisoning o hindi mali pa rin!
Deletehi 1:20, mejo bukas ung car window not enough para maging comfortable yung bata.even ung finer nung uploader hindi kasya sa siwang ng bintana which means hirap pa din huminga ung bata sa loob.. such irresponsible parents..palusot na hindi nakalusot
DeleteCarbon monoxide poisoning happens only if turned on ang AC and engine in an inclosed place, like basements
DeleteThe toddler is crying which means he is in distress already. He might die due to asphyxia (loss of oxygen) nakakaawa huhu
DeleteI think suffocation might be the reason if the child died. Carbon monoxide posoining kapag turned on ang AC.
Deletemabuti naman at nakarating sa mga kinauukulan.
ReplyDeleteYes please take the child away from those irresponsible self centred parents...
ReplyDeleteHay Naku! Ikulong din ang magulang bilang parusa at magiiyak hanggang pawisan! Grabe aso nga isinasama kapag namamasyal o kakain ang bata iniiwan lng. kahit sinong lasing mawawala kalasingan sa pinaggagawa nyo sa bata. Dapat nga binasag na sasakyan nyo!
ReplyDeleteLOL. imagine, ung lasing naging sober bigla sa ngyari.
DeleteCommon sense kasi na wag iwanan ung bata, kaya magugulantang ka na lang kung bakit ganun ang naisip nung nanay
Nag CR at Kumain lang daw siya. 2x nang pinatawag. Nung una akala ng guard kinuha na yung anak, yun apal iniwna pa din. Iniwan naman daw naiyang naka open yung window at Unlocked yung doors!! Wow! Another mistake! Pwedeng pwedeng makidnap anak mo. Sana kunin na nga ng DSWD muna yung bata. Nang magtanda ang magulang nito. Irresponsable!! Nangatwiran lang mali pa rin excuse!
ReplyDeleteKorek..natawa nga ako eh..iniwan naman daw na d naka lock iyong doors at bukas ang window eh mag isa ang bata..eh d nakidnap naman iyon...anong klaseng excuse yan?!..high ka ba ate? Palusot pa more!
DeleteLekat na mga magulang ‘to! Ano yon, pag nainip si baby baba na lang. ng sasakyan at uuwi mag isa tutal unlocked ang pinto?
DeleteSaka 4am yun, oras ng tulog ng karamihan. Ano ‘to, sinasanay na si baby tutal sa kanya ipapamana ang business. Huwow!
Talaga bang aaksyonan nyo, kc ung mga batang paslit nga nde nyo matulungan eh. Pero sana nga kuhain, ibigay mo na sa appropriate guardian na pwede mag-alaga sa bata. Mukhang tanga lang sagot ng nanay. Iihi pwede nmang isama at pahawak sa tatay. Halatang sinungaling.
ReplyDeleteNakakaawa yung bata!!! Sana wag ma-trauma yung bata at kasuhan yung mga magulang!!!
ReplyDeleteMay pambiling sasakyan pero hindi makaafford ng yaya?
ReplyDeletewell lets wait n see na lang no! sa gara ng car i doubt if kaya talaga kunin ng dswd ang bata sa kanila. sa mahihirap lang nila naiaapply ang mga ganyang batas no!
ReplyDeleteAyan na nman sa mga "investigation" na yan. Sana naman maparusahan agad wag na patagalin pa.
ReplyDeletemukang yayamanin yan. tingnan nga natin if kaya ng dswd na kunin ung bata at kung ilang days aabutin bago ibalik.
ReplyDeleteSome people should be aware na in a matter of minutes the temp inside the car will spike. In 10 minutes nga 27° can heat up to 37. In one hour 22 will reach 45 degrees. Walwal is life kasi mga parents nito walang awa sa bata.
ReplyDeleteNakakaloka ang palusot ng nanay, i read her comments sa news.papansin daw yung nag upload,kung hindi ka ba naman isat kalahating shunga buti nga yung ibang tao concern sa anak mo ikaw itong nanay ikaw pa itong balahura.sarap sabunutan ni ate gamit nailcutter kagigil siya pa itong palaban ng wala sa lugar feel na feel niyang nasa tama siya.ang kapal ng mukha!
ReplyDeleteMaygad sana pinabantay nalang nya sa guard bakit iniwan sa loob ng car.. Sya pa daw galit. How stupid and what an imbecile. Aanak anak nga naman tapos ganyan kumilos. Kawawang bata ibigay nlng sa mabait na magulang.
ReplyDeleteThe mere fact that the concerned citizen found the child already in great distress hysterical inside the vehicle is already proof that the parents are neglectful and have the tendency to prioritize their own needs over their child's. There is NEVER a good reason to leave a child unattended in a car - whether or not the engine or the AC is on! The child could have been kidnapped! I believe the child was saved from certain death by manong, manong guard and the other lady mentioned to be present during the time the parents were nowhere to be found - and I hope they all testify against the parents. I hope this child has a responsible and loving close relative who could look after the child properly while the parents are being investigated.
ReplyDeleteDito sa North America at saka sa Europe ,marami nang namatay na bata , pati nga aso, ang iniwan sa kotse dahil na soffocated . There is also a risk of kidnapping. Dapat kunin ang mga bata sa parents na pabaya.
ReplyDelete😳 naalala ko yung kuya at father ni carol banawa. Nagpark sa mall, natulog sa kotse. Nasuffocate sila. Yung kuya namatay yung tatay nag critical condition
ReplyDeleteYun din ang naalala ko with this incident. Pano pa ito, bata na maliit pa ang baga. Tsk tsk
DeleteThat time the engine was running. Nacarbon monoxide poisoning sila. I believe di possible ito kung patay car engine.
DeleteCarbon monoxide poisoning naman yon natulog sila sa loob ng car ng nk on yung ac.
Deletekahit anong dahilan nila. MALING IWAN AND BATA O PETS SA LOOB NG SASAKYAN. ang sarap ikulong sa kotse nong magulang. magdadahilan pa.
ReplyDeleteparusahan yang magulang! naimbierna ako sa katan**han nila. commonsense naman sana na wah iwanan ang bata sa loob. nunca! never! tapos magpapalusot pa. kitang kita na matigas ang ulo ng magulang. bawiin dapat ang bata sa kanila. bka kung magtagal p ang bata sa kanila, di lng yan ang aabutin sa magulang. ang ta**a lng talaga e irresposable!
ReplyDeleteSana sundan ng national media ang storya na to. Para maturuan ng leksyon mga walwal na magulang. Kung di nyo kaya responsibilidad, CLose your legs
ReplyDeletethere is NEVER a VALID reason to leave your child ALONE inside a vehicle, regardless if it's on or off, windows up or down, doors lock or unlock.
ReplyDeleteSERYOSO BA TO?! sa usa kulong na agad mga magulang na ganyan. Kaloka anu pa ba dapat malaman jan para makulong mga magulang na ganyan. Pilipinas talaga bulok
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these parents treat their child at home. Kung nasa bahay nga kami halos di ko inaalisan ng tingin yung anak kong 2yo. Lalo na kung nasa labas. And I would never dare leave her alone sa kotse. Kahit segundo lang. Tsk.
ReplyDeleteKung ako yung andun basag kotse nila. Kelan pa naging tama na iwan mo bata sa loob ng kotse. Basta below 7years old yung bata Hindi pwede walang parents or guardian supervision.
ReplyDeleteMay pambili ng kotse walang pambayad ng gaya or magbabantay. Nabuking na kasi na pabaya at walwal sila na magulang. Anak ko nga malayo lang sakin di kaya ng kalooban ko na iwan.
These people don't deserve a child
Nagpa interview na yung tatay ng bata,sandaling sandali lang iniwan yung bata..pero sabi ng guard na in interview, 11:00 sinabihan na yung nanay na naiyak yung bata akala daw nya pinuntahan na..hanggang dumating na yung lalaki..imagine 5 hours sa loob ng car..ang init nun,halos walang hangin..1 year lng pla yung bata.Maling mali yung pag iwan nila
ReplyDeletegrabe, kahit sabihin nilang sandali lang un, mali pa rin un! Iniwan pa rin nila sa loob ng sasakyan MAG ISA. nakakainis mga dahilan nila. My gawd, huwag na sila mag anak please.
DeleteIbang version naman yung sinabi ng nanay sa tv patrol. Pinapakain daw yung isang kapatid. Really? Madaling araw pinapakain tapos di pa sinama yung baby? Napakasinungaling talaga.
ReplyDeleteTapos di naman daw nakalock. E di mas lalong delikado. Kung di nakidnap yung bata baka kung saan na nagliwaliw sa dis-oras na gabi. Di na lang aminin mali talaga siya.
