She says that this family is known to law enforcement authorities due to numerous problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the 5-year-old, who is currently being treated at the Pediatric Clinic due to abuse by his parents, this resident of the village of Janjev\u00eb in Lipjan says she had never seen him walking, as they always carried him in their arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have had problems ever since we\u2019ve been here for 10 years\u2026 Even this child, the way they treated him, we saw him always being carried, only in their arms. They would go out, go to the shop\u2026 we never saw him walking. They said they didn\u2019t take him outside, but I have seen them take him out,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighbor recounts that the children\u2019s screams were always heard, as the parents used to beat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she says they did not dare to inform the authorities because they felt threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe beat them all, and they would scream even until midnight. I heard them all, and I always felt sorry for them because they are not to blame. These two are not well, neither of them\u2026 we did not dare because they are dangerous,\u201d <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resident of Janjev\u00eb says she often saw the children of this family playing in the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, social workers from the Center for Social Work in Lipjan frequently visited this family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She even adds that psychiatrists would visit the children\u2019s mother every two weeks, providing her with injections and necessary medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
