Parents, take control of your children

Imagine big, old, hardback men were throwing money on the ground to see this little girl display her innocent self. It was disgusting and shameful to see adults enjoying the ridiculous behaviour of this child — both men and women. Shame on you all.

I wondered where she learned that kind of indecent behaviour? Who taught her to do those things? What kind of parenting is this? That parents are setting up their child for prostitution.

We have a lot of problems with old men are interfering with little girls. Now I do not know if that video was in Trinidad or if it was from another Caribbean island, but it really does not matter. It is nasty, degrading, and smutty.

As parents we need to protect our children from the wolves out there waiting to devour them. We cannot set them up for failure.

We as parents are failing them. Stop putting your children in harm’s way. Teach your children good values. Keep them away from social media. Teach them to read, teach them to pray, tell them about God. It is Him who gives us those children to take care of. The Bible says children are a heritage from the Lord.

And the glory of children is their father.

That little girl has to be seeing things that she should not see. She was on her head gyrating and everybody around applauded her.

Someone tried to stop her but she was resisted.

Come on parents, what are you doing? Children learn from what they see. We are the ones to show them and teach them right from wrong. Every day you hear on the news some little girl has gone missing. No one really knows if they are really missing because they are returning home.

Parents, do not expose your children to these elements. Train them the right way so they will not depart from it.

I believe it is time the police charge parents for their children’s behaviour.

Take them before the courts. Let parents be held accountable for their children’s behaviour.

If that starts to happen, I am sure there will be a turnaround in society. Charge parents.
