The mother left her children in an apartment prepared for them by their father. The grandmother confirmed that the accused had not been with her children for several months until the complaint was filed, and that she deliberately neglected them. The father corroborated the testimony of the grandmother, while the son revealed that his mother had left them a long time ago, expressing his desire to stay with his father only. Attorney Abdul Mohsen Al-Qattan appeared in court on behalf of the grandmother as a civil plaintiff, demanding the maximum penalty be imposed on the mother and order her to pay temporary civil compensation of KD1,001.
