Say no to child abuse

Child abuse is on the rise again. This is something the government must deal with. This is something you must deal with. We can't continue seeing headlines like this:

Woman tortures five-year-old stepdaughter for bed-wetting

Policeman’s wife batters 10-year-old niece over N30

Common! We have to do something. I know it's kinda like the way we were brought up, but things change. Point is, we can't remain like this. We must emancipate ourselves from all forms of child abuse; neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, and emotional abuse.

Child abuse is real. It is not some 'white dogma'. It's real. It can happen to blacks too. Yes we have a tougher skin, but it bleeds nonetheless. It's same pain, same torment, same agony, same salty tears, same trauma. It must stop! Don't raise a hand on a kid, don't neglect a kid, don't sexual abuse a kid, don't exploit a kid, don't emotional abuse a kid. Please. They are they future of tomorrow. Treat them kindly.
