What happened to you, Ysabelle? Why are you full of bruises?
I am sorry t hear that, Ysabelle. Don't worry, we will help you and your father about that matter, okay?
Uhm... *crying* my father lost his job a-and when he is under the influence of alcohol, he will beat m-me up *sobbing*. That is the first time my father did that to me.
The next day...
*knock knock*
We are here to know how are you and your daughter doing, Sir. Because we have found out that there is abuse going on here in your home.
We are the social worker from the local barangay, Sir.
Ah... y-yes... I know I have done many mistakes including the things I've done to my daughter, Ysabelle. I recently lost my job and I turn the frustration to her. I know that will not make my mistakes right *crying*
We, the social worker, are not here to judge you, Sir. We are here to help you find a permanent job for you and your child's welfare.
That's why we are here to help you get through that situation, Sir.
Thank you so much.
We will visit from time to time to know how are you and your child doing and to know your condition more.
We will make a correspondence, Sir. If you do not comply, we can do nothing but take custody of your child. But for now we will find a way to help you find a job.
