ALBAWABA An Iraqi mother, for reasons yet unknown, imprisoned her two children within the confines of a cage and callously left them abandoned in a park. The incident, widely shared on social media platforms, involved a distressing video clip revealing two children confined inside a cage. 

The Ministry of Interior, as reported by the correspondent from "Al Arabiya/Al Hadath," promptly intervened by transferring the children to a care center. Unfortunately, the available information doesn't shed light on the circumstances leading to the mother's abandonment of her children or their previous living conditions. 

An official from the ministry, dispatched to the scene for assessment, has initiated an investigation in collaboration with local authorities to uncover the details surrounding this troubling incident.

Initial reports from officials at the scene indicate that the mother arrived at the park, leaving the children with minimal provisions before fleeing. The act involved confining the children and securing the enclosure before her departure. 

However, critical details about the motives behind the abandonment or the children's previous circumstances remain undisclosed. The ministry official on-site has commenced a thorough investigation, working closely with local authorities to ascertain a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
