As declared by the United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child, every child has the right to live in safety and security. Yet hundreds of thousands around the globe suffer the long term effects of child abuse. It is a problem very few organizations are prepared to face.
Child beating parents are very bad news wherever they are found, but there are occurrences where even children who have become world renown stars, are beaten, in what would seem to be an ongoing cycle of abuse.
Mohammed Ismail hit and kicked his ten-year-old son Azharuddin watched by astounded neighbours and passers-by. Slumdog Millionaire star pleaded with his father to stop, as he tried to hide in a corner.
zharuddin had just flown back from Los Angeles where the film had been awarded eight Oscars. After the long flight, Asharuddin had been given a rest day off school, but his father wanted to show him off to the neighbourhood. The ugly scene was in total contrast to the day before, when on Azharuddin's jubilant return to the slums, his father hoisted him up and paraded him around like some well earned trophy.
Several hours later Ismail apologized for the attack. Ismail suffers from tuberculosis .
The tennis champion Jelena Dokic, who has won five WTA Tour titles and reached a career-high ranking of fourth in 2002, spoke out recently in an interview, about how she was regularly beaten by her father during tennis tournaments.
Jelena fled from her family in 2002, in order to evade the brutality. However, the years following the break up were filled with mental turmoil and severe depression. Jelena has struggled with her form and injuries and is currently ranked number 74 in the world, but is fighting her way back.
When Damir Dokic was asked about the incidents, he said, "If a child, shows that they are talented in something, they should never be left alone. They should always be forced, I think even pushed into it. There are no limits". Damir Dokic openly declared the 2001 Open draw was fixed and said he would reomove Jelena out of the Australian Olympic Team. He was expelled from the US Open in 2000 for staff abuse over the amount of a salmon lunch. Dokic also nabbed headlines when he wrecked a journalist's mobile phone at Wimbledon. In 1999 he was thrown out of a tournament after telling the match officials they were 'Nazis'. He was then arrested after going into the street outside the arena, when he blocked traffic and jumped on the bonnet of a car.
Damir Dokic, is well known for his erratic behavior and was recently arrested and detained in Serbia for reportedly threatening to fire a rocket at the Australian ambassador’s car in Belgrade, as a reprisal for Jelena returning to Australia. Dokic says he is looking to kidnap his estranged daughter.
When Dokic's home in Fruska Gora was searched it revealed two illegal bombs, plus seven licensed hunting rifles and a Beretta handgun.
Dokic was furious over the interview his daughter gave, declaring he beat her. Dokic aims to sell his farm, where he makes brandy and set up a tennis centre, where he will coach would-be tennis stars. Dokic was once a boxer. He was given the nickname of 'Mad Dad'.

IHOPMar 1, 2011 - 3:56:52 PM If you're in the mood for doing something to help eradicate Leukemia and Lymphoma, eat pancakes at IHOP today. There really are only two times when the food served at IHOP is morally acceptable to some people who spend their days rallying against processed food and their nights eating the equivalent of similarly fat food: 1) when they are drunk or 2) when free food is involved. Throw in a good charity like cancer and the place will be overflowing with philanthropists.... [Read the full story] |
