Kaban ni D_BystandeR: PROBLEMA SA GUINADILI NGA DRUGAS, MIKUYANAP SA INAHAN NGA NAGPATUTOY UG ANAK

It has been said that law is supposed to be strict and uncompromising and should not entertain any sign of weakness in carrying out its assigned task. But the three police officers of Consolacion Police Station are now facing administrative charges on account of a 40-year old woman who escaped from their custody after she was allowed to breastfeed her 4-month old child crying uncontrollably outside her prison cell, out of pity.

It was too late when they noticed the woman had escaped. There are some cases far serious than this where prisoners with criminal cases like crime of murder had escaped but due to some other reasons and in most cases it involved monetary considerations. This, to me is exceptional because this is the first time I read in the news where a woman-prisoner had escaped out of pity for her crying 4-month old baby. Usually the prisoner had escaped because the police officer was bribed, but this is different. I would rather choose that this case against the three police be taken lightly against them by their superior officers because the reason of the escape is exceptionally bothering to their conscience.

And it's now hard to find among police authorities to see people of this kind with "conscience." The case of illegal drugs affecting even nursing mothers is an alarming indication that people living in the countrysides are now exposed to extreme poverty that the present-day rulers have sadly failed to address.
