Sharjah: A 17-year-old girl was found out by her mother to be in a relationship with a boy, whom she had befriended over Instagram. An 18-year-old Arab girl tried to end her life as she did not like the treatment of her family. A case of a visually impaired boy who was exposed to violence from his father.
Traumatic cases like these are now deftly handled by the social support officers at Sharjah Police. No cases were referred to the court, a senior official said.
Colonel Mona Surour, Director of the Social Support Centre at Sharjah Police, told Gulf News in an exclusive interview that all cases were resolved amicably for both parties. She attributed this achievement to the efforts of the centre’s staff. Cases involved both Emiratis and expats, she said.
