Tehran - A recent terrifying case of child abuse in Iran has been reported to be the third event of extreme tragic cases of child abuse, only in less than a month.
While Iran reportedly has a history of high statistics in child abuse history over the few previous decades, usually no or little news of it is broadcasted in local or national media, unless the news are drastically heartbreaking.

Little Barbod, burnt by his father

On May 18, 2011, only a week after the second biggest child abuse case of the year in Iran, the story of another child burnt in fire has shocked the nation as well as international civil rights activists.

"According to the article published by Benjamin Sadr, a Rooz-online journalist, child abuse rate has doubled in Iran over a year, mostly as a result of increasing poverty and families tough financial problems, as quoted by Dr. Mostafa Eghlima, the head of Academic Association of Social Workers in Iran. "While the state’s prisons are accommodating three times of their capacity, divorce rate increased 6% compared to previous year and marriage decreased by 2% in a similar period, it is anticipated to see child abuse rates and other social problems to increase as a result" , said Dr. Eghlima.
Iran’s poverty line is believed to be $1000 USD, according to Dr. Eghlima but neither officially confirmed nor denied by any state authorities. Average wage rate for workers is $330 USD a month, while a small apartment rents $500 USD. This inequality brings in all different types of social harms and problems in one way or another."

Lets all sit comfortably in our homes and do nothing as children die; all the while Tit Face Parsi tells us war against the Mullah Regime is wrong.
