A VERY distraught and saddened mother is still deeply worried about the safety of her two daughters who were taken from her three years ago.

Fazia Azim, of Dartmouth, Essequibo Coast, told the Guyana Chronicle that the girls were removed from her care when her in-laws, who wanted custody of them, “rigged up a story” and related it to the Probation Department.
She lamented that from then the sisters have not been supervised by the relatives of her ex-spouse, with whom they now reside.
Azim claimed the siblings are at risk of being raped or otherwise molested by males.
She recalled that, three years ago, she was summoned by her eldest daughter’s teacher, who complained that the girl, Kenisha Davidson, had been very disrespectful.
Azim said when the girl arrived home, she spoke to her sternly and the latter made some very rude remarks. The mother said she dealt the girl several lashes with a belt, leaving a blister on her left arm.
According to her, when her in-laws saw the mark, they went to the probation officer in Essequibo and told “horrid lies” about her being an abusive mother who will, usually, ill-treat her children.
She said she was not really liked by her in-laws and they did everything they could to make her life unhappy and her then spouse, Neville Davidson, who is now residing in Barbados, readily believed the tales told by her in-laws and sided with them to get custody of the two girls.
Having separated from Davidson, Azim is now in a relationship with another man but is the mother of 17-year-old Kenisha, 15-year-old Blossom Davidson and their seven-year-old brother, Javier Davidson.
Recently beaten
Javier lives with his mother’s brother in Henrietta Housing Scheme; Blossom resides with her grandmother at Anna Regina, also on Essequibo Coast, since she was recently beaten by the elder sister and thrown out of the house at midnight, with her knapsacks, school books and assignments.
The older sister then went to Anna Regina Police Station and reported the younger missing.
Their mother said the girls are left to walk about as they please and, with all the crimes of rape and robbery occurring in Essequibo, she fears dearly for her daughters who seem to be allowed to live carefree by their father’s relatives.
The angry woman declared that, if her ex-spouse wanted his daughters, he should have been able to provide proper care for them.
“He should have known when he wanted his daughters three years ago, that it would have come with the responsibility of taking care of them properly. He is not even here in Guyana and the girls are allowed to do as they please. Besides they are out there and any terrible thing can happen to them,” Azim said.
She is a receptionist at Purple Heart Hotel, Restaurant and Bar at Charity, on Essequibo Coast; but while she is at work, she continuously thinks about her children’s welfare and wants the authorities to look into the matter before something goes horribly wrong with her daughters.
