Today at 22:30 on-air STB in the program “Honey, we are killing children” is the second episode of the story of the Fedora family, in which the mother sold her daughter to grandmothers for 1000 hryvnias.
51-year-old Inna and 78-year-old Galina Yakovlevna are raising 8-year-old Ksenia. Ksyusha’s mother, who lives next door, voluntarily gave up her parental rights. The cruel upbringing of grandmothers and regular beatings led to the fact that the girl became aggressive and uncontrollable.
In the second series, the Pedro family will feel like they are in Xenia’s place. Grandmother and great-grandmother will be locked in a cage, where they will have to recite Shevchenko’s verse “Zapovit”. Just like Ksenia, imprisoned in a “cage” – the apartment of her grandmothers, where almost everything is forbidden to her – she reads poetry as a punishment. Such confinement should change the grandmothers’ concepts of a normal upbringing.
After that, grandmothers and Ksyusha’s mother are waiting for a new test – a nursing home for the elderly who have no one … Women must realize the value of a family.
The second week will bring Pedro’s family a storm of emotions. While the grandmother is aware of her guilt and is ready to ask for forgiveness, Ksyusha’s mother, Alya, is in no hurry to change something in her life.
“By nature, children first of all need parents, not grandmothers,” commented Viktoria Lyubarevich-Torkhova, the psychologist of the project “Honey, we are killing children”.— Yes, we are adaptive, and we can adapt to those who take care of us and provide us with survival and moral support. In the modern world, where parents work a lot, they often give their child to be raised by their grandmother. At the same time, there is an idea that the baby has them, which means that everything is fine. But the upbringing of grandmothers will never replace the mothers. A grandmother, no matter how good she is, does not have that absolute focus on the child that a mother has. But there may be sad moments, comparison of grandchildren with children, as they were, and so on. Sometimes it happens the other way around, when a grandmother sins with overprotection, realizing that this is the last opportunity to raise a child. If children do not realize their natural desire – to be with their mother, to belong to their mother, to hear her opinion – they then transfer this insult to their parents, to their mother.
How will the situation in Pedro’s family change? Will Alya understand that she acted unfairly towards her daughter? Are you ready to take her in? And what awaits the girl in the future?
