15-year-old girl found living in wet market stall: Why no one said or did anything for close to a yeara teenage girl living in a wet market stall went unreportedThe 15-year-old girl, who lived in a 2m by 3m stall at Circuit Road Market and Food Centre, was referred to the Ministry of Social and Family Development’s Child Protective Service only after officers from the National Environment Agency spotted her in April.
The open display of the family’s living conditions may have led bystanders to normalise or rationalise the girl’s living conditions as an unfortunate but acceptable part of her circumstances, she said.Neighbours might also be aware of challenges the father may be facing, especially if he was a single parent. This could have made them empathise with his situation, and hesitate to intervene or report the circumstances, said Ms Nawal.
“The signs of neglect would have been a little more obvious in the school setting as well – like smell, unclean uniform, being excessively underweight or small-sized relative to her peers, which is more obvious when she’s alongside them.” Self-reporting is difficult because many victims are vulnerable by virtue of their age or size, and would fear being further harmed if they spoke up, he added.
Emotional neglect can involve a lack of attention to a child’s emotional needs, such as consistent disregard for their feelings or emotional well-being, not supporting a child through their developmental milestones, or not providing appropriate guidance and nurturing.
