Female Netizen Saddened by What Her Child Is Experiencing from Classmates
A female netizen shared her feelings and concerns about what her child has been going through with classmates at school.
Recently, Christine Mae Diaz, a Facebook user, posted a photo of her child who suffered an injury after allegedly being bitten by a classmate. The post quickly went viral and received various reactions from online users.
According to Diaz, this was not the first time her child had experienced problems at school. She shared that there had been several instances when her child’s snacks were reportedly taken during recess.
At first, she chose to stay silent, hoping the situation would improve and believing that children could still learn from their mistakes.
However, the recent incident involving the alleged bite deeply saddened her and pushed her to speak up. She explained that it was painful as a parent to hear that her child had been hurt in a place where children are supposed to feel safe, happy, and excited to learn every day.
For the mother, the issue goes beyond missing snacks or a physical injury. She said it is about a child repeatedly experiencing situations that no young student should have to endure. While she admitted feeling sad, she also expressed frustration over seeing her child get hurt more than once.
Christine clarified that her post was not meant to blame, shame, or encourage hatred toward anyone. Instead, she wanted to raise awareness about the importance of addressing harmful behavior among children before it became a bigger problem.
The woman encouraged parents and guardians to teach children the values of kindness, respect, and empathy. She emphasized that hurting others should never be considered acceptable behavior.
Here is the full post:
“Hindi ko ito ipinopost para manisi, manghusga, o mag-create ng issue. Wala rin akong intention na mag-spread ng hate. I’m posting this because I’m a mother whose heart is hurting for her child.
Nung una, mas pinili kong manahimik.
Paulit-ulit kinukuhaan ng baon ang anak ko tuwing recess. Pinalampas ko. I told myself, “Bata lang sila, baka maaayos pa.”
Pero this time…
KINAGAT NA ANG ANAK KO.
At doon na ako sobrang nasaktan.
As a mom, sobrang sakit marinig sa anak mo na nasaktan siya sa school, sa lugar na dapat safe siya, masaya siya, at excited siyang pumasok araw-araw.
Hindi lang ito tungkol sa baon. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa kagat.
It’s about a child who keeps experiencing things that no child should ever have to go through.
Bilang magulang, I am sad, but I am also angry. Dahil walang magulang ang gustong makita o marinig na ang anak niya ay paulit-ulit na nasasaktan.
I’m not asking anyone to hate or judge anyone. Hindi rin ito para may mapahiya. Ang gusto ko lang ay magkaroon ng awareness. Kasi kapag ang bullying ay hinahayaan lang at laging sinasabing “normal lang ‘yan, bata lang sila,” mas lalo itong lumalala.
Let’s teach our children to be kind, to respect others, and to never think that hurting someone is okay.
Because every child deserves to feel safe in school.
At bilang isang nanay, I will always speak up for my child. Hindi dahil gusto kong makipag-away, kundi dahil responsibilidad kong ipaglaban ang batang hindi pa kayang ipaglaban ang sarili niya.
Choose kindness. Stop bullying. Protect our children.”
