"Your parcel was successfully delivered"… A mother sneezes and the state whistles indifferently

You continue the same trope. Besides, we have known it well for years - Michalis Antoniou writes.

At a time when a mother is tearing her 4,5-year-old boy from her arms, with "so I want" after the decision of the family court in Paphos, the Minister of Justice stated that she and the state will stand by her side. to the mother.

In a country riddled with corruption, entanglement and injustice, a young woman who has been physically and psychologically abused by her American billionaire ex-husband is seeking justice.

At the same time that social media is literally being bombarded by election campaigns as we are a breath ahead of the parliamentary elections, with candidates seeking votes - as always - a young woman is fighting alone with her only weapon την her hope and patience.

It is noted that when the mother lived in America, she accepted and experienced domestic violence on a daily basis and after legal disputes, she managed to take restrictive measures against the father of little Leonidas. Having no other solution, she decides to return to her homeland with the then 14-month-old Leonidas. Let's also add that the father also had 3 criminal drug cases and so on.

And while all these elements (domestic violence, restrictive measures, drugs, etc.) one would consider that it would be enough plus the fact that Justice considers the mother as the first and most powerful entity through parental care, nevertheless 3 and a half years then Justice bows to the American embassy and makes a decision as Leonidas returns to the father with whom he never had contact, he just happened to be his biological father. Speaking to several lawyers, ministers, MPs and most recently the President of the Republic, the family received the following answer. That no one can interfere in the decision of Justice since it is an independent authority.

At the moment, the family will have to continue the legal battle with legal costs that reach the amount of 70 thousand euros. A fact that will bring the family to the brink of bankruptcy and decline.

A small child at the tender age of 4,5 years who needs as much as anything but motherhood, was sent as a "package" to a - for the child himself - stranger without even saying goodbye to his mother. And to all the candidates. Instead of simply promoting the spotlight for change that you want to see in this place, why not stand by this mother who has been crushed financially and psychologically?

Fortunately, ordinary citizens still have empathy and financially and psychologically support this mother.

As for your election campaign, keep asking for votes and promoting that this place will change. Besides, we know the troparion well…
