MANILA — The one-year-old child who was put on leash and was treated like a dog by his own mother is now under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.<\/p>\n

In an radio interview, Marilyn Tigas, chief of the DSWD office in Bataan said that the baby was taken by two social workers from his mother.<\/p>\n

The boy, whose case is now under investigation, was brought to a residential center for children.<\/p>\n

“Ayaw ibigay ng magulang pero hindi pwede. Yun po ang nakita naming magandang kailangan pong gawin, alisin po muna ang bata sa magulang,” Tigas said.<\/p>\n

(The parents would not surrender the baby but that’s not possible. That’s the best solution we could think of. To remove the baby’s custody from his parents.)<\/p>\n

As to how long the department will be keeping custody of the child, Tigas said it is now up to the DSWD Region 3.<\/p>\n

In the same interview, Tigas explained that the mother who uploaded photos of the child did not know that it will go viral on social networking sites.<\/p>\n

The photos were uploaded with the caption:<\/p>\n

”bago ko nga palang aso\u2026dami kong tawa [dito] grabe.”<\/p>\n

(My new dog… I’m laughing so hard on this!)<\/p>\n

“They made fun of it. Akala nila walang magiging reaction,” Tigas said.<\/p>\n

(They made fun of it. They didn’t expected the reaction.)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said that the National Bureau of Investigation is now looking into the case.<\/p>\n
