This morning as i woke up, I rolled to the side of my bed and sat by edge of my new comfy bed. My night was indeed beautiful and for today, I don't really have any serious thing in mind to do as I'm already enjoying the freedom that I've so much craved from the work I was doing in the company I work with. As I sat on the edge of my bed I pulled open my drawer and picked my toothbrush which in fact is the first thing I always enjoy doing each time I woke up. I added my toothpaste and rose up. As I was about leaving my room I picked the remote controller to my sound system and turned on the radio. While I was brushing my teeth, I heard the voice of a man talking on the radio and was captivated by what he said.
As I paid close attention to what he was saying because of my growing interest on the program, I heard hundreds ask a question, is it good for parents to allow their children asses to smart phones especially children of below fifteen years of age? As I listened more closely I understand his area of concern was on how people misuse the internet most especially how there are no restrictions to the level of things shared on the internet and how easy it is for children of this age to bypass the age restriction limit and parental controls on their devices.
There were many callers on the radio program and the man soon started picking their calls and many people gave their different suggestions and some either told stories of how smart children of this age can be.
All of this made me remember a child which I know should be around thirteen years of age, the young girls was pregnant and I couldn't believe my eyes. Seeing a young girl child with swollen stomach looking at everyone's faces with so much innocence in her eyes yet have had deeper encounters that no one would have believed if not for the growing evidence broke my heart.
She had confessed to be meeting with a boy after school. I remember very well looking at the girl to see if there are any indicators or signs I could look for to identify other girl child that may be also into this way of life and in fact, I was disappointed because there were no indicators. She even look more innocent than most young ladies and children whom you would suspect of wayward lifestyle. When she was asked the person that is responsible, she found it difficult to release such information but when her parents became more furious with anger, she began to comply by giving answers to all their questions. From her confession, she had been seeing a teenager even to the extent that the boy always informs her where to meet through phone chatting and that when sent to school sometimes she will spend her time in the young man's house when his parents are out for work.
Everything sounded so crazy and unbelievable to me just by looking at the face of the young girl that appears to be very innocent, if not for the baby bump. Now, when asked about the location of the man that is responsible, she said that he has relocated with his family but before that, had denied the pregnancy.
Her parents then told her to go and show them his former place of residence so they could start making enquiries of their new location. This is not the only experience but I've heard a young man publicly say on one occasion that he fears giving birth to a female child. I know his statement may be very wrong but the horror of trying to be a good parent to your children and even as a Christian, yet you have one of your young female children blow such a loud siren, that can make anyone misunderstand you as being a bad parent.
My last experience as it concerns a young girl who later got pregnant because she didn't accept her parents advice was one whose mother always caution and sometimes beat in annoyance because of the late hours she always returns from school. The girl's father is the one who sometimes quarrels with her wife because of the way her wife beats the child due to her behavior. Her teachers were informed, including the head of the school, yet when it seems she has calmed down, she will leave and spend longer hours outside before coming back. There was a time she didn't come back home for more than seven days and her parents were restless, they even organized search parties and even reported for their missing child.
The girl's mother blamed her husband for being responsible for the girl's misbehavior because he wouldn't let him handle her girl child the way that she really wanted to.
Later after like a week had gone by information came about her whereabouts and she was finally found in the location of her female friends and was taken home.
Her parents were happy she was found but at the same time they felt like squeezing the life out of her for putting them through all the stress.
When they got home her mother bundled her up and locked her up in a room till the next day. Later the mother was telling me that the girl's father had freed her. After three months have passed by, the girl suddenly started appearing as one that is better behaved and just as her parents were about to be happy for her sudden transformation, it was noticed that she was pregnant and it was tested and confirmed. It was even figured out that she had gone for a laboratory test on her own with the responsible guy in the past.
With lots of questioning and everything, it was found out that both the young girl and the teenage boy had mobile phones with which they chat each time before leaving for their meeting point. I also forgot to add that the mother of this young girl sacrificed her work just to be following the girl to school everyday and wait till her dismal to come back home with her. She did it for more than one year before she stopped, hoping everything was good and that the girl must have changed. That was when she got pregnant. The question in my heart is why do children of age learn bad things more?
