The coordinator urged parents to take responsibility and watch over their children.

“I am appealing to parents to take responsibilities, watch and protect their children against any means of violation because we have a lot of vices being reported today due to parents' neglect.”

She decried the rate of divorce in the society, saying that cases of child custody problems were on the rise “as some women insist on staying with their children for proper care and upbringing, but are being denied by their ex-husbands.
