Children need to be treated abroad, father holds them hostage to a firm

Flori, a 16-year-old from Durrës, addressed the show Piranjat because of conflicts between her parents. Since childhood, she remembers that her father was an alcoholic and violent, making life difficult for her, her sisters, and their mother.

"I just hugged my sister and cried. I stayed up all night. I had a hard time sleeping because I was scared. He didn't care how we felt, but he kept beating my mom,"  the girl said.

While her mother, Kena, tearfully describes the sacrifices she has had to make to raise her four children.

"I had a really bad time with my little girl in the hospital, I had nothing to give her to eat, the women there would give me a T-shirt, she didn't want to know, she wouldn't come, she wasn't interested. I coped with everything alone. I would go out, pick up the trash from the markets, beg, to please them, because they wanted uniforms for school, a white shirt, I didn't have any, I even went into the trash to collect cans, so that they could be like their friends. Once my father-in-law had bread for the chickens and the son said: Grandpa, I'll take it, throw it to the chickens, I gave it to the children to eat, they got sick because it was moldy. The little girl was born with diabetes and an enlarged heart. Because I had to work, I left it to these people, they missed school, because they raised her."

But this situation between violence and survival would not last indefinitely. After all that she had been through over the years, the young woman decided to end the marriage, seeking a divorce. The emptiness in her father's house was replaced by a glimmer of hope for the mother and children. Despite the suboptimal conditions, moving to her grandparents brought positive change to their lives. It is understood that everything must come gradually. Children who grow up witnessing domestic violence often suffer irreversible trauma because of what happened. In Flori's case, all these experiences, not at all normal for her age, have caused her to suffer from anxiety.

"Grandma bought me some tea for anxiety, it's the only thing that calms me down. I try to forget them, but they often come back to me. I start screaming, crying. To calm down, I go outside, my grandfather immediately understands that I go out in my pajamas, I need air. He has taken me to the emergency room many times, I have been calmed down there with needles, serums."

Now what Flori and her mother have told us is a thing of the past, but the 16-year-old has one last problem with her father.

"I have these moles. They came out when I was little. They bother me a lot when I comb my hair and they hurt a lot. More are forming. I need to get them removed."

Given this problem, but not only, the mother wants to travel with her children abroad... This is also to offer them a better life. But this mother's desire to change the future of her little ones must have encountered obstacles from the father, who refuses to sign a power of attorney to cross the border. But what is the reason that he denies the power of attorney and a better life to his children?

"I won't give you the power of attorney. Don't worry. The children have nothing. They're not sick. Keep it as you have done until now. Do whatever you want, complain wherever you want, I won't give it to you, why with difficulty? Push it as you have pushed it until now in Durrës, with work. I have nothing to do with it. I don't even contribute, I don't have the means," he says to his ex-wife.

Given these conditions, where she is unable to find a bridge in communication with her ex-husband, the Piranjats were forced to confront the children's father. After much discussion, they finally managed to convince him to release the power of attorney for 3 months.
