Who will take care of the child?

I believe her family members are the ones taking care of her now. And they can as well take care of the child too.

My dear NLders. Please your advice and guidance is needed once again. I lost a dear friend and colleague last Dec. He was involved in an accident with his wife (see previous link)https://www.nairaland.com/4914859/how-one-plan-funeral-close#74038218. Six months after the burial his family has refused to release the only child from the union to the young widow. All efforts to settle the matter within the family amounted to an exercise in futility. We have contacted the Min of women affairs in Benin but they haven't done anything yet. The lady who is yet to fully recover (bedridden) from the accident is really saddened by this development. Right now she has run out of ideas on where to seek help. Her current state of health isn't helping matters. Anyone with info on how to reunite mother and child kindly give your suggestions here.

PS. The child is only 2.


She should get better first..... But in the interim, her child should be visiting her......

Custody battle would be fought later (either through official mediation or legal route)..........

The child belongs to the woman.They no dey debate that one. First she has to fully recover. If by any case the child is being maltreated or abused, Then it should. e reported the the child be moved away ASAP.


I wish her full recovery.
thanks for the advice. But is it possible they'd take the child out of the country?

That is my point. The only claim she has to that child is that she is the mother and if
she cannot perform motherly duties, then there is no point asking for custody.

Since she is alive she is the legal guardian.

She should file and sue specific persons in his family for kidnapping join everyone to the suit. AG.. Naptip. women affairs..her doctors . Minister of health.

Make sure they get arrested first so it's established as a criminal case.

I believe the sentence is now death.They should take it seriously thereafter.

She must do this quietly and quickly. Cut all ties with them in the process and show no mercy till they return the child and vacate her life.

What are people saying she is bedridden so she should forget her child? A little child of 2? Even seeing the child will help her healing process. What if one bastard is abusing the child where they kept her.
She may be bedridden but she is still a mother and she loves her child. She is also alive so there is no reason why anyone should hold onto her child. Please go to media houses and appeal to the state government for help. May God punish those who seek to make this lady die from frustration and pain. Nigerians always feeling they know best for someone else. On something that is not their life experience.

I'm sorry if the pics is quite offensive but this is a serious matter and would not wish anyone to doubt. I had to live out the one where my friend was still alive in hospital bed with stitches all over.

In-laws from hell.
Why will they deny her access to her child even if she is bedridden?

That child will be her hope and reason to heal.

I'm equally sure they don't visit her too.
Wicked generation embarassed

Tell her to see that child as her reason to fight.
Even if they like, they should deny her access till whenever.

Let her heal first, get emotional and financial stability, at the right time, she should go for her child.
By then, she will be well equipped for the journey.

She should be penning down her soulful words to her child as if she is talking to him or her face to face. Make sure she write the dates.
All her struggles and how she desire him to be around her.
So that even if they try to buy his mind against her, those letters will prove them wrong.
She should also talk about her late husband too.

This way she can have one good reason to sleep and wake up.wiahing her recovery soon and thank u for being a true friend.

OP is the widow in a good and mental and financial state to cater for the child...

It's an unfortunate situation she found herself but it is equally important that logic and reason prevail..as it stands now so many indigent parents are raising touts and delinquents terrorising us every day.

It depends on the country. I think some countries law say you can only bring over your blood relation. (With some conditions. Google it up)
Re: Battle For Child Custody For A Deceased Friend by dingbang(m): 4:23pm On Jul 10, 2019
Pls she should heal, and you should also help out in seeing that the child is supported financially, that alone will make her happy.

Yes all that's needed is her signature and a good lawyer

Forgot this stupid comments on nairaland. Only her and a judge has the right to decide the child's well being.

The only condition medically allowed to separate a child from its mother can only be decided by a competent medical team

As I said earlier get a good lawyer file your case. Let the system sort out the rest. Don't forget to join the commisoner of police in the state ,the IGP and the Attorney General for traction. All the best

She is in paid employment and can foot her bills as well as that of the child comfortably.

The pics are too graphics and unnecessary. You are not reporting an accident, you are making enquiry on how to recover a child.

Where is our humanity , On Sunday and Friday you see these people flood churches and mosques, to do a simple act of being a human is a big task ..
Why not just let the woman see her child ?

What gives you the right to tell her that she cannot take care of her child? Even blind and mad people take care of their children. The woman said she wants her child, giver her the child. With her husband dead, that child will be the only source of her happiness.

I am sure it is the man’s mother holding on to that child as a memory for the loss of her child. But she’s not sympathetic towards another woman who needs her own child. Very wicked people.

Have you ever gone abroad and seen a mad person take care of a child?

A child is not a property to be possessed.

The well being of the child is ultimate and will be considered first..

Go to court on her behalf. The courts will compel her to.

That's how Benins are...
