Listen: Varma Deyalsingh says various reasons step fathers may harm children

There are instances where some men who are not the biological father of a child could become jealous of the previous mate of a woman or the relationship between the mother and the infant that isn’t his.

Psychiatrist Dr Varma Deyalsingh told News Power Now yesterday that this can lead to a buildup of hatred for the child.

He explained that those feelings are often verbalized by the man and should not be ignored.

He went on to disclose that not only should the man’s utterances be carefully considered but the mate should also  be extremely careful if there articles that could be used as weapons lying around.

Dr Deyalsingh also noted there could be spousal revenge where the man uses the child to make their spouse suffer.
