These domestic violence death cases are exponentially increasing mainly in Pakistan. Especially, child homicide is reported every other day. In addition to this, these children are killed for such trivial and minor reasons that it makes one wonder how insignificant their lives are thought to be.
Has the world become immune to humanity?

Why have such cases become so common these days? Cases of domestic violence have always been there. We have only seen an increase in the statistic over the passage of time. Regardless of the existence of laws that deal with domestic abuse, victims have found no relief. They continue to suffer from domestic violence.
The children have been identified as Faizan, Usman, and Rida. They were between the ages of four and nine. According to the details, the accused has two more older children. Fortunately, they both managed to escape. Thank goodness.
First the growing child rape cases, and now this. Just recently we heard of a 7-year-old niece who got shot by her uncle in Peshawar– and for what? For making some noise?
There was another case of an 8-year-old maid who was beaten to death for accidentally setting the parrots free. It is tremendously saddening to see what the world is coming to.
