"It has blackened my life for 16 years"/ The abused mother is looking

Cases of domestic violence have increased a lot recently. One of them is treated tonight in "Stop" on TV Klan. Elda Shkurti says she has been married to Anton Shkurti since she was 19 years old. From this 16-year marriage, they have 2 children, a 15-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter.

The lady says that she was physically and psychologically abused by her husband all the time, but she stayed for the sake of the children. She couldn't take it anymore, so in 2022 she left home, taking her daughter with her as the boy didn't want to leave.

"I have not abandoned my children because I have asked for them in every state instance. I have abandoned that person and the violence he used against me because he really blackened my life for 16 years in a row. I never went to a wedding of my tribe, I was just a tailor-house, that was my life and I had to obey him in everything.

From the show 'Stop' I look for my children in the first place because every mother works, lives, even more so I who grew up without a mother myself and know what that means. I want to take my children, have them here and live in peace and let this anxiety stop. I want to walk free. I have not made any mistake in this world to live without my children and to live in fear, I will have life today, I will not have it tomorrow".

After this act, the husband went to her parents' house where, in addition to raping her, he also took the daughter with the excuse that he would stay for a few hours. The couple is in the process of divorce, so in July 2023 the court decided with a temporary decision recognizing the custody of the children to the mother. The court has left the task of the social service to build the relationship with the children and the enforcement to execute the court's decision. But that doesn't happen.

Employee: Since the boy is 15 years old, the child's opinion is taken, based on the law we have. For the oyster, we measured the oyster. No one takes the oyster by force, we cannot take it by force.

Although the relationship with the children has been quite good, today they refuse to go to their mother.

Girl: Get out, I'll get a protection order.

The lady goes to the enforcement office, which says that the execution is being hindered due to the procrastination of the social service.

Bailiff: Actually, I can't do anything, in these conditions that I am.

Citizen: So everything depends on the social service?

Bailiff: From the social service because they have dragged us from time to time. I will also give them a warning for a fine, because I have stayed, fine them, fine these. Now they receive those letters, it's not that they don't receive them. I will fine the police again so that they will respond as soon as possible!/tvklan.al
