In response to the distressing case of a woman who was beaten and thrown out of her home with her children, one comment read: “Make una leave her o. Is he kpai she go dey alright.” This comment suggests ignoring the situation, assuming that harm will somehow resolve itself.
This view is not only wrong but dangerous. Victims of domestic violence, especially those in toxic relationships, often need help to break free from harmful cycles. Leaving them to suffer or “meet their fate” can lead to further trauma, not just for the victims but also for the children involved, who continue to grow up in an abusive environment.
