A Mother In Custody Was Reunited With Her 3-Month-Old Baby By Dubai Police
The Victim Support Team at the Naif Police Station in Dubai has once again done an impeccable job. They responded to a request from a woman in custody to be reunited with her 3-month-old baby boy as she knows no one, she can trust to care for him.
According to Brigadier Dr Tariq Muhammad Noor Tahlak, Director of Naif Police Station, the woman was placed in detention as a result of a quarrel between her and another woman.
Dubai Police reunited the arrested mother with her infant son and provided the necessary health care for both
“The woman approached one of our female officers and requested to see and check on her 3-month-old baby, and claimed that she had no family members outside who she could trust her baby with,” Brig. Tahlak, said.
Within an hour, the team reunited the baby with his mother
This incident really goes to show how merciful Dubai Police are. The Victim Support Team reunited the baby with his mother after verifying his identification papers in cooperation with the Dubai Hospital.
“We then arranged her transfer with her infant to Dubai Women’s Prison in cooperation with the General Department of Punitive and Correctional Institutions, where the environment is fully prepared for such cases, including the availability of health care facilities and professionals and specialised nannies to take care of inmates’ infants and children,” he added.
Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi, Director of Women’s Prison in the General Department of Punitive and Correctional Institutions, stated that prison is not a place for children however it’s often the only option for some inmates.
The arrested woman thanked Dubai Police, stressing that she did not expect this much cooperation and attention to her condition. She noted the humanity of the Dubai Police, especially the female officers, who were keen to reassure her and bring her baby immediately in a humane interaction that she had never experienced.
Dubai Police show incredible mercy to mothers with children outside of prison and have no one to care for them
If the inmate mother does not have family members outside who can care for the child, the child can be cared for until their mother’s sentence is served. If the mother is psychologically fit, her child can stay with her in a building designated for mothers and their children. Over there, they get access to all required facilities and services in addition to medical care and periodic check-ups.
Once the inmate arrives with her child, they undergo several medical examinations to make sure all the child’s needs are met including appropriate food, personal and health care tools and supplies, and clothes.
In the event that she is unable to take care of the child and there is no one outside to take care of them, the infant is transferred to the women’s prison nursery, which is a separate building equipped with all the required services and facilities. “The nursery is operated by professionals, and ten specialised nannies who take care of infants and children,” “The mother gets to visit and spend time with her baby on a daily basis,” Col Al Zaabi said.
