She reported that her mother had a new and troubled partner, that she sounded strange when heard on the phone, that they had not seen each other for a while, that she did not know where her mother was, and that she suspected that the man she was in a relationship with was abusing. that the mother wants to hide it from him. We found the mother. He was at the address where he occasionally did housework. We found her bruised, with black bruises under her eyes, the Center’s social worker, Mariana Stanić, told Srna.

With the support of a social worker and a psychologist, she gradually became stronger and until now she has been able to resist the calls and pressures from her partner to give up, withdraw the request and continue the relationship.

He posed such serious threats to her life that she was afraid to travel to Prijedor, so she came to us for help. Thanks to the screenshots of the messages in which he threatened her with a timely reaction and action, we were able to provide her protection, and the father was able to see the girl in a controlled environment, on the premises of the Center for Social Work – says Stanić.
