In the society we live in today, so many things are happening, most especially in the lives of our children. We see so many who lack being loved, while some are being molested out there by the older ones. Those who suffer most are the girl child.
In some countries today, the child service groups have been put in place to monitor these children who lack love or, one way or the other, have been molested on the street. The real reason for implanting this group has been abused majorly in some countries like mine. No one cares about any child roaming about, and no one cares to report the child who has been molested on the street. Everybody is just on their own, minding their business without falling victim.
A family that I knew so well has just one child. The couple has been living in harmony and in a peaceful mind with their only child. The girl is so brilliant and has been the talk of her classmates as well as her teachers. She was liked by everyone in the society just because of her good behavior.
The father had to change overnight just because of the friends he keeps. Those friends have to lure him to have another woman out there. This man had no common sense of humor, just to stick to his wife, and instead ran after another woman. His wife got to know about it and caused a serious problem in their home. They were always fighting every moment, which caused the child's mental instability. The child became frustrated seeing her parents fight every moment. What they had not been doing before now had become the talk of the house.
The girl became mentally derailed. She began to deteriorate gradually in her education. Her teacher noticed and asked the girl what the difficulty was. She could not say a word; instead, she said all was fine. The teacher had to call her parents and report her to them. They told the teacher they will see to it.
After observing the girl's character, which seemed to not be changing, the teacher had to find a way to get closer to the girl's house and do a little research. With his findings, he discovered that that family was having a serious marital issue.
The teacher had to report the issue to the child service group, who then took care of the issue, and after some time, they sat the girl down and talked to her. They spoke nicely to her and supported her every emotional wellness and well-being.
They moved to the girl's house and sat the parents down. After serious cancelling, the family got their reputation back.
This is how good things were supposed to be run, but not the issue of getting afraid to report issues like this. The child service also played a vital role in reuniting the family.
In my country today, instead of reporting such issues, they will be swept under the carpet. We all have to join hands together to set to the betterment of our community.
The children are suffering out there; investigating how to give them support should be our priority, even though we are not buoyant enough. At least there are people who can help out in this situation, and they are the child services. Taking issues like this to their care should be our priority.
