Kaw Ku Htoo and Thida Win, close neighbors
They are close neighbor couples with the family and they initially hesitant to give any opinion about the family but later they mentioned that the father was drinking a lot during in January 2014 and he reduced a bit after he was warned by the section leader. Thida Win said that she is afraid of drunken man because no one knows that he might do something dangerous as they are staying close to them. They mentioned that the father was very loud when he was drunk at night time and he liked to nag the eldest child. The father used to drink with his friends and they thought that he might also drink at his work place or at a shop before he came back home as well. His friends also came to drink with him at home sometimes. He might use most of the money he earned for his drinking since there is not much food at home. They therefore give some food to the children and other neighbors also provided them sometimes. The father used to cry sometimes and it might be due to that he was upset with the mother and their situation. They opined that the father is not capable to take care of the children. Since there was no one to closely supervise the children at home, the children did not go to school every day and the eldest child who supposed to take care of the youngest child also went around in the camp and did not take care of his brother well. Sometimes, child 1 and 2 went out to fine vegetables and they worried about the children’s future. When asked, they said that when the mother was in the camp, the father did not drink like this and he was a very quiet man. The mother however could not really take care of the children well and the situation was not very different from now. However, all the children could go to school at that time.
