00:00In Rizal, a two-year-old boy was filmed by a neighbor with black eyes and full of bruises on his face and body.
00:09These bruises were found inside his right ear and in the palm of his mother and father.
00:16According to the story of the neighbor, Joy, the child we are going to hide is named Sam.
00:24When Sam peeped through the window, he saw that the child's face was covered with bruises.
00:30Joy decided to complain to the barangay.
00:33Aside from the bruises, Sam was often left alone in the house of his mother, Riza, and his father, Rico.
00:43Their names were not proven.
00:45This is where the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children of BCPC of Barangay San Jose acted.
00:59When he was asked about the bruises and other marks on the child's body, he said that he only did these because of his pride.
01:08There are a lot of bruises.
01:10Here, look at this. There's a mark.
01:12Did he do this to himself?
01:14Did he do this to himself?
01:16Huh?
01:17Yes, sister, that's wrong.
01:19Did you do this because of your pride?
01:20Yes.
01:21Then you did that too.
01:22Yes.
01:23When Riza was only 17 years old, his mother was called by the barangay to hide in the house of his grandmother, Evelyn.
01:29She only found out about the bruises on her grandson's hands for the first time.
01:34It's only here.
01:35This is brown and black.
01:38As in, it's almost covered.
01:40You can't see it anymore.
01:42My daughter confessed that her grandson hit her.
01:47Rico was immediately arrested by the PNP.
01:50He is Sam's stepfather.
01:52And because the victim's mother is a minor, instead of going to the precinct,
01:56he was brought to a shelter for children in conflict with the law.
02:00Rico and Riza were faced with a case of violation of the Republic Act 7610 or child abuse.
02:06If proven guilty, they could be jailed for 6 years up to 12 years.
02:13Grandma Evelyn was given a Certificate of Custody and Care from the Montalban Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office.
02:23Four months after Sam's bruises, we visited her again and found out about her grandmother's condition.
02:33Now, she's okay. She's healthy. She's very happy.
02:41She has really changed a lot because she's the one I see in her former sadness in exchange for happiness.
02:50Mommy.
02:52Mommy.
02:53Daddy.
02:54Daddy.
02:56At their young age, love and care is what children like Nathan and Sam should be getting.
03:02And because it seems like it's the other way around,
03:05they accepted within their own homes and schools,
03:09to pass a law to punish anyone who abuses their family.
03:20Thank you for watching, Kapuso.
