WAKE UP CALL

Child sexual abuse is becoming the order of the day. This should serve as a wake-up call to parents  to fasten and tighten their seat-belts. As a parent you are a caretaker to your children. You must be willing and  ready to take responsibility for their well-being  because that’s  your call of duty.

Under-aged children, teenagers, among others are being sexually molested by predators and paedophiles. They are being molested - abused and raped -  in schools, homes and by people they are familiar with. People they can easily trust are betraying their trust by sexually abusing them. Exposing these children to a lot of negativity/danger.  A lot of parents find it hard to believe that this goes on in their homes. They turn deaf ears to it and beautify their selves with pretence whereas these issues can always be addressed.

This problem needs to be visited and dealt with from the root. The root cause is parenting. As a parent, how are you taking charge of your child’s upbringing? Are you responsible or irresponsible?. Many parents leave their children in the hands of masked predators and paedophiles, all in the name of helping them look after their children. These people help them take care of their children due to their busy schedules which they can always plan well or reschedule.

Examples of people they leave their children with are house helps, relations and friends. These people live under the pretence of loving these children and gain access into their lives and begin to feed on them like parasites. They poison and threaten their minds to the extent of buying their silence. Some go to the extent of bribing them with gifts, while some go as far as saying dreadful or hurting things to them by blackmailing them. Can you imagine blackmailing a child? This is one the major reasons why children find it difficult to voice out their pains.

  A lot of parents are ignorant about child abuse. While some are not, they decide to shy away from it.  Some address it  in other to avoid a generational occurrence because they have been victims. Failing to discharge your parental responsibilities to your children will have you answer to the giver of those children because he will surely ask about their upbringing from you. What will be your answer? 

 

You have the time and opportunity now to become the kind of parent your maker wants you to be to your child. Don't waste it so as not to have regrets later in life. Take the bull by the horn, address what you have left unaddressed in the lives of your children. Be there to take care of them. Let your presence be more than your presents and help them to feel loved and appreciated.

 Don't allow anyone destroy the future of your child. Don't allow anyone plant any evil seed in your child's life by sexually abusing them if you don't want your child to pluck evil fruits as a result.
Succeeding in other areas of your life, but failing as a parent is no way to succeed at all. You must first be successful as a parent. Then, success will magnetize every other aspect of your life. Remember your first ministry starts in your home.

  A word, they say, is enough for the wise, if the wise makes a choice not to be foolish and become a person of wisdom.


Parent, talk to yourself parent. This is a wake-up call to wake you up from your slumber.
