Just think how lucky your child is !
A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD child was kept chained up by his evil parents in order to keep him away from “bad company.”
Social services and police released the child after a tip-off from neighbours who saw him tied to a long steel chain by his leg in the family home in the town of Goce Delchev in Bulgaria.
The chain only allowed him to move though a limited space in the house and caused chronic injuries.
Little Ilko Todorov was taken to a foster home after receiving medical treatment, while his parents Ilija, 40, a metal worker and Marija, 34, a cleaner, could be facing legal charges.
Speaking from the foster home, where he has been receiving intensive counselling, Ilko said: “I am happy here and I get to play with other children now. I miss my mum but I don’t want to see my dad.”
His mother Marija told authorities that she was forced to chain up her son by his domineering father.
She said: “I tried to tell him not to do it, but I was afraid of him.”
It is believed that Ilko was forced to sleep and live for long periods with the chain attached.
Authorities are said to be investigating whether the child missed school and why social services did not act earlier.
The father Ilija declined to comment and only said that he chained his son in a bid to keep him away from “bad company.”
...not 'at worst'.

I hope to teach my children not only how to survive but also to overcome such calamity! Far to often we hear such valuable pieces of advice given to us about patience however we rarely hear how wrong such abusive acts are towards women and children. And usually we are told to be pray, it must be because of some sin we have done, patience, and humbling ourselves. In my eyes being patient is also battling against the abuse and stopping it from happening. As long as we are well rounded muslims who can analyse and overcome our situations in light of Quran and sunnah then we really cannot go wrong!
And I fully agree that it is a calamity not to show our children that we are grateful for what we have been given. Our wisdom should be that it is said without negating or lessening the problems we are confronting. And as you said is used to help strengthen our own eeman.

lol.....not if you have a latex allergy....not good....
Its a verey fine line and parents have to tread carefully..
I lived in Saudi for a few years. We were in a Western Compound with all facilities. My kids went to the British School. All their friends were from a certain strata of society.
It was very easy for them to think that everyone lived like this. I made sure that we made friends with some couples outside and they saw and understood how others lived and hopefully appreciated all that the Lord had given them.
If you provide the latex, I can conjure up some chains.
mmmmm what a good idea...where can I get a chain from?..
SheDBabe don't you wonder if by having children look at those who are worse then them they may fail to see the reality of their situation? I often notice this happening with muslim wives who "make the best of their situation" and "are grateful for what they have because others have it so much worse!"
Surely their is a middle ground we can take without losing the reality of our own situation!

The sad thing is that "child abuse" goes on all around.. The thing for us is to vigilant and if we see it happening, then we should where possible try to intervene on behalf of the minor..
More importantly, we parents should constantly look at ourselves and ensure that we don't fall into the same trap. Parenting is not easy at the best of times and sometimes culture, society we live in or relatives may force us into actions which may be against the welfare of the child..
The problem is that most parents do not realize how they are messing up their kids! Even the father felt justified in his actions!

But these parents shouldn't have had them at all....

Who the hell needs pot when u got Cookie dough :D
I know Diamond, thats the worst bit, you know its happening everywhere, and theres not a damn thing you can do about it..With kids of my own, i just dont know how the hell people can do to hurt these helpless innocent kids, it makes my blood boil...
What really makes me sick to my stomach is knowing that there are thousands, if not more, children living in cruel and inhumane circumstances that we just never find out about, and so their misery goes on and on.

Oh brit, bearer of bad news...What is wrong with parents, its infuriating...I can believe mothers would allow their husbands to do this, again they too are responsible for these actions...
