Readers have called for strict action to be taken against parents who leave their children unattended inside cars.

A mother had left her six to nine month old toddler and a two year old kid unattended in a car near Garhoud on Monday.

Describing the incident as child abuse and absolute disregard for child safety, many readers have called upon authorities to impose stricter penalties on negligent parents.


According to Zaid AlAzzawi, the parents should be exposed to public and prosecuted. The trials should be thoroughly covered by local media to set an example against such murderous acts. “As a human being I demand that this mother be brought to justice.”

Muhammadh Khalaaff wrote to Emirates 24|7 saying: “Warning doesn't make any sense. Strict rules must be implemented to protect innocent children life. These kind of scenario keeps happening time to time from all emirate of UAE. We can't accept any negligence for an excuse and they should punish for awareness of life value and be a lesson other parents as well.

Emirates24|7 also calls upon anyone who sees such incidents to immediately alert us and also call the police by dialing 999.
