A Bahraini father has been fined BD300 after being convicted of physically and emotionally abusing his seven children. The Court of Cassation upheld the conviction. The Public Prosecution charged the father with child abuse, alleging he physically and emotionally mistreated his children, aged 4 to 16, who were under his care.
The prosecution argued that his actions – including physical assault, threats, and a failure to provide proper care and upbringing – posed a significant risk to the children’s safety and well-being. The incident came to light when the children’s mother filed a police report.
Distressed
She stated that on the day of the incident, around 5pm, her children arrived at her home, visibly distressed. They reported that their father had physically and emotionally abused them, including threats of violence and accusations of theft if they went to their mother’s home.
The court found the father guilty based on the evidence presented, including the children’s testimony and their mother’s report.
