Well traditionally it should be the father's relatives that help take care of the child. But since the child was most likely born out of wedlock I guess they were too ashamed to keep the baby.
In places where there are no government welfare marriage is a vital part of society. This is why having sex outside of marriage has such a harsh stigma in our culture.
I wonder what will happen to these children. I think Somalis are very considerate of orphans, but a child out-of-wedlock I doubt would receive good care or funding were it to be known?
We can blame both or either party like this....
Too many young horney halimos can't close their legs before marriage and this is the result! don't have sex if you can't
take the responsibility of being a mother.
Adeer Somalia in general is poor. These kids are born out of wedlock, young folks back home know nothin' else but ku aasid and this is result.
But really, it becomes a public health issue when no side takes responsibility, failing the vital role of marriage, and unfortunately poorer countries don't have these services so the problems manifest in other ways, i.e, kids abandoned on streets.
Side Note; To even mention abstinence at this point in time is reallyyy irrelevant, because the abstaining individuals who abstinence has worked for aren't the one's in question here. Sure, abstinence is a 100% foolproof "contraceptive", but only if you actually abstain lol. That's where contraceptives and condoms come in...*eek* I know some people will cringe, but it's the easiest way to control it (?)
Side Side Note: I think mother's abandoning actual babies is indicative of how severe the stigma for the mother keeping them, too, because it's one thing to abort before you're too attached such as happens in other countries and maybe even there, too, but an actual baby that was carried full-term, birthed and fed is typically hard on the mother to give it up just like that due the bond that's already taken hold.
