This would serve as an eye opener for the community to be more responsive and supportive. Local organizations and child welfare agencies have to strategize and work in tandem to create safety nets for children. Some of such initiatives would be parenting workshops, support with mental health, and resource availability that can act as powerful tools to prevent the repeat of this kind of event.
Another step for the community is to establish support networks that will empower the parents to come forward whenever they feel a need for help. Counseling services, parenting classes, and financial assistance can make some of the burdens of family life easier to bear. Schools and centers can become sanctuaries-a place where a child, or the parent for that matter, might find comfort, learning, and support.
