One young lady has taken to social media to seek help after witnessing a disturbing act from a new mother in her neighbourhood. According to the lady, the mother has been throwing her crying baby on the floor multiple times without any attempt to console the child. She shared a video on TikTok which shows the baby crying profusely, and the mother seemingly indifferent to the situation.
The concerned lady urged people to help, noting that the new mum has been throwing the baby on the ground since the previous day. Some commentators on the post suggested that the mother may be experiencing postpartum depression, a serious mental health condition that affects some women after childbirth. Many also called for greater public awareness and education about postpartum depression and its signs and symptoms. Some shared their own experiences with the condition and emphasized the need for the mother to receive help and support.
The video has since gone viral, with many people expressing concern for the welfare of the baby and the mother. It remains unclear whether any action has been taken to provide assistance to the family.
