In the sixth article in our series on child safety, we write about how the trauma of losing a child takes its toll on families.

J. Premalatha was a healthy 40-year-old mother who took good care of her family. But when her 16-year-old son Jethendran went missing over a year ago, her world literally fell apart. She passed away three months ago, unable to bear the trauma of losing her son.
