A First Prosecutor at the Family and Juvenile Prosecution, Noura Khadem Al-Maasem, who initiated the investigation into the case, said that the daughter, who was also neglected by her mother, filed a complaint against her father, and a criminal complaint was registered against him, and it was found through the investigations that the accused refused to extract identity cards. And health cards, and the passport was not renewed, which led to her not joining educational institutions.
