Suposto suicídio de menino de 12 anos em Verulam gera alegações de negligência infantil

Os pais de Shivaan Cumberledge, um menino de 12 anos que faleceu na semana passada em Verulam, rejeitaram as alegações de que ele sofria negligência. Vizinhos afirmaram que a criança teria sido deixada sozinha com seu irmão de quatro anos enquanto os pais estavam fora.

Sheldon Cumberledge e Leanne Govindsamy afirmaram que amam e cuidam profundamente de seus filhos. O pai estava em um trabalho temporário e a mãe havia viajado com dois irmãos mais novos para participar de uma oração fúnebre de dois dias.

Adeshni Naicker, da Childline KwaZulu-Natal, observou que a morte provocou uma discussão mais ampla sobre a saúde mental das crianças durante o Mês da Proteção à Criança. Ela destacou o aumento no número de ligações para a organização relacionadas a problemas de autoestima, bullying e pressão acadêmica.

Naicker acrescentou que as crianças já enfrentam fardos pesados e que responsabilidades domésticas extras podem piorar a situação. Ela apontou múltiplos fatores que contribuem para a ideação suicida entre os jovens.
