I believe that husbands whose wives abuse domestic helps should also be arrested and investigated.
Too often, we hear terrible stories of children and domestic workers being tortured inside homes. Recently, reports emerged of a woman who allegedly poured hot water and candle wax on a young child in her care. Such cruelty and evil act does not usually happen in one minute or in complete secrecy. Someone in the house often sees the signs, hears the cries, or notices the injuries.

A husband should not be allowed to simply say, "I didn't know." If a child is being abused repeatedly in a home, every responsible adult in that home should answer questions from the police. If investigations show that the husband knew about the abuse, ignored it, encouraged it, or failed to report it, then he should face the law alongside his wife.

Children and domestic helps are human beings, for crying out loud. A home should be a place of safety, not a place of fear and torture. Holding all responsible adults accountable will help discourage abuse and protect vulnerable people.
Silence can sometimes be as dangerous as the abuse itself.

And since this issue is common place in our society today, there should be a law holding husbands of these women equally responsible for these crimes against children and domestic help.

What do you guys think?

I can’t see my wife delivering such misery and pain that I normally see in those pictures and videos related to this topic and won’t give her a befitting slap. She go go back to her papa house to learn how not to be a beast.

You open your mouth waaaaaaa, and talk for talking sake, if it were to be you, would you report your wife?

As a wise man, what you are expected to do is return the child back to their parents, because if you dare report your wife, it means you don't want peace for the rest of your life and she will see you as a threat and can poison you over little issue.

I’m joking because your thread is pointless. Tradition dictates that men should be the head of the home. It is not so in many cases. There are some households where the abused child is the woman’s relative. Once the man tries to put things in order, a family meeting is called where her uncles and aunts will choose to berate his authority. We all know once bitten, twice shy. The man will look away and do his thing. Also, the husband wasn’t the one who did the abusing. What concerns him in the matter?
I believe you're joking with the submission you made above? A man with his head intact should not allow any form of abuse. I fully support the OP, the man also ought to be arrested for aiding and abetting a crime.

As long as you live under the roof and authority of a responsible man, you have no right to abuse anybody relative or not. Discipline is different from abuse, the former is acceptable, but the latter must never be tolerated. Carry the child to your relative's house and abuse, not his.

Obviously you are not married, that is why you talk like a boy.

Because after reporting your wife, then you will choose if you want to Leave happily ever after, or Live happily ever after.

There's no basis to arrest the spouse of the culprit in a domestic violence. It's just like saying that the spouses or relatives of those who commit crimes should be arrested. That doesn't make sense at all! When I heard of the husband of the Anambra woman being arrested, I immediately knew it was people like you who are always quick to call for the heads of men in every unpleasant situation that must have triggered his arrest. This is because, unless the woman was not there at the time and perhaps the police decided to hold the man pending when the woman gets arrested, there's no basis for arresting the man when the child already identified the one who abused him.
Many men has lost their place in their home cos of marriage. U find out that the man is avoiding issues with his wife, hence the blind eye to domestic violence of a minor in their care. Also, most of them never believed that the law will intervene in a family issue. undecided

you are just trying to rope men into women's crimes. I have seen my sisters totally bodied their own children as though were doing some sort of guerilla warfare. Now imagine what they would do if they had strange kids living with them. In fact my eldest sister lived with my half sister as a child and she beat her up every day but didn't do it when the husband was around. Yes she'd still scold and berate her but won't go full commando when he's around. She still tells the story sometimes and never says anything bad about the man. She has no reason to lie since they're both dead. If these children were being abused by the men they would say so when being questioned by the police but they never do.
You're the one that wants to absolve men from child abuse and your excuses are not going to crawl not to talk of fly. Men that commit at least 90% of the violent crimes in the society suddenly become timid puppies on the homefront? Abegi! I have seen and I'm still seeing firsthand the maltreatment children face living with another family from BOTH couples. In fact the one I'm currently witnessing is a nephew of the husband. The wife sends the poor boy on errands she would never send her children and the husband beats him over any slight mistake. The boy went to a neighbour to collect phone to call his dad crying that he should come and take him away from there. His father pleaded with him to endure, the couple are only training him to become a better person. Don't come here and exonorate husbands from the harms being inflicted on child helps, they're also partakers if not even the main perpetrators.

but if na man comit similar crime, they will not suggest or be shouting for wife to partake in the judgment. Am sure you that posted this must be mam. Why are man wicked to man? Haba. What if the husband has been warning her and complaining severally but the wife did not yield?
And if because of that the man vex beat the wife untop she been maltreating the boy. Yet society will still call the man names.

This is not what the law says. You cannot hold a person for another person’s crime except they are an accessory or accomplice to the commission of that crime or they stood surety for such persons for their bail. That practice is bad policing.

It's the way you want the husband look like a helpless victim in all these. What makes you think he's also not partaking in the abuse? A man can beat up his wife, his kids but not the help? Puhleeese! In fact, not only is he beating up the child help, he's tampering with her down below too. That's why such men would never want their wives to return the little girls.
I was reacting to the TOPIC. Read the topic again, what you're talking about is a completely different subject.

I disagree, a lot of the mentally imbalanced wives they marry, if the husbands ever try to interfere or caution their wives over ill treatment of female house helps, that is when you will start hearing some false accusations.

Must husbands just play it safe and mechionu as they don't need the additional stress.

It's the evil daughters of Eve, who wouldn't stop saying a man must not touch a woman under any circumstances, yet they project immeasurable wickedness on young house helps who can't defend themselves, that must face the music on their own.

I'm talking about child abuse here, man.
A child has no agency of his or her own.
At least a woman can walk away if she's had enough. She's an adult.
But a child? C'mon man!!!

I'm very sure you won't stand by and let your wife brutalize a child for any reason. So I believe you're just joking.
U want to punish a man for the sins of a woman... u sha just wanna drag man into it

I understand the concern about protecting domestic workers and children, but the idea that husbands should automatically be arrested is a bit extreme and unfair.
Accountability should always be based on individual responsibility and evidence, not assumption. Just because someone lives in the same house doesn’t mean they are aware of everything happening, especially in situations where abuse may be hidden or deliberately concealed.
If a husband knew about the abuse, ignored it, or enabled it, then absolutely—he should be investigated and held accountable. But to suggest that he should be arrested simply because of his relationship to the abuser undermines basic principles of fairness and justice.
You can’t replace due process with blanket blame. Otherwise, you risk punishing innocent people based on association rather than facts.
Also, this shouldn’t be framed in a one-sided way. Responsibility in a household applies to any adult, regardless of gender. If the roles were reversed, the same logic should apply—anyone who is aware of abuse and fails to act should be accountable.
Protecting vulnerable people is critical, but it has to be done in a way that is fair, evidence-based, and balanced, not driven by assumptions.

As for me if the uncles and aunts choose to berate my authority, my wife and the kid will have to move out.

I can never allow such a thing happen in my family and home

And what happens in the all too common domestic incidents of rape and other sexual vices perpetuated by men (since we have decided to digress and make this a gender confrontation). Should the woman be arrested and charged. Won't the argument become one of, 'oh she wasn't aware he was doing all that'.
I only read the first paragraph. The rest are most likely unnecessary. Yes, the wife should be arrested and charge. I wonder why you think my response would change even when I have said it many times that such women are more dangerous than lions.

Trash from Hypocrite..

So if a man is a soldier or navy or any other job, that barely stays home, such man should also be penalized?

Men will not be penalized for a crime committed by their wives..

FAFO
Makes it worse. He should be suspended. A naval officer, who should uphold the law, but watched his wife bring in a minor as a domestic help should not only be arrested/charged, but suspended from duties.

I have checked and it is actually in the Nigerian law to charge husband and wife. It hasn't just been enforced and I am happy Anambra state has held onto the husband and wife. Other states should do same.

Re: Husbands Of Women Who Abuse Their Domestic Help Should Also Be Arrested by fchizeey: 10:58am On Jun 25
I wonder when wives became toddlers that the husbands will now bear the consequences of their own actions. Every adult is responsible and accountable for him or herself.
Even a child of 18yrs which is a legal adult, who lives with his/her parent and commits crimes and is caught will face the consequence on his/her own. Why? He/she is now an adult. Be involved in kidnapping/murder or what have you, the punishment is entirely on you. The max people will say is the child is not well trained or the parents failed in their responsibility. But as pertains the law, only the child will face his own punishment.

I now wonder why wives, full grown adults who quite often than not would not even be 'submitted' to the man, lacks accountability for her own sole actions and somehow wants to involve the man.
Simply put, it is only an attempt and attack against men because it makes no sense.


When you say doesn't the husband know about it, let me ask you, the man at your office exploiting and cunningly stealing at your office/company. Lie that everyone don't know. So when he is caught or exposed, how will you like to be sacked for his own hideous crime and actions, just because you knew. He will carry the consequences and restitution all by himself. As long as you didn't aid, sponsored or assisted him in anyway to do the crime, why will you do the punishment.

'Woman' commit crime, women leave the 'woman' but are angry at 'man' for not reporting the 'woman'. Hian!

God bless you bro.......... Notice how all the female members on this thread instead of acknowledging female evil acts decided to shift the blame on Men.
Do you know why? They all have that inherent hatred for any child within their care that is not biologically theirs. Thank you for sharing your personal story

obviously I'm not talking about the scenario you described where both man and woman are beating the child, I'm specifically talking about the cases of women maltreating children which we see every day on the news. How many times have you seen a man scald a child with boiling water or disfigure them with razor blade and then getting dragged to the police? This is majorly women's crimes and if you ask the child he/she will tell you the man wasn't at home. If the men were involved they'd be dragged to the police station along with the wives

I'm not in support of legally arresting the husband but then truth is these things happened under your roof and you cannot say you didn't know. I haven't have a maid in my house now for more than 10 years because I never liked how my wife relates with our house helps, it was like seeing a different her whenever she has a help around and I decided she will never employ another person under our roof. I took my stand and we have survived without a help.. The kids are grown now and we are good.. My point is we as men can do a lot to stop such occurrences if you decide to man up and take a stand.
