It's a beautiful Wednesday morning here chilling and seriously expectant for a heavy downpour though partly cloudy for now. I want to sincerely thank the entire management for their efforts in quality delivery of all the prompts in this community. The topic for this edition lies on the issue of child services in my dear country Nigeria. Every country has its own kind of policies on children protection and some might have both positive and negative impacts.
Child services in Nigeria includes the kind of event or program designed by organizations or government which aimed at providing good welfare and security of the children. Whatever it takes to maintain children the well being of a child is what I tagged as child's service. Is the child truly protected and secured? Has it done more harm than good?
Some of these services includes;
Education support. This is one of the major role of child services in my country. It's said that education is the bedrock of any society. I tend to concur with this statement because if anyone want to make meaningful impact in any generation or society the first thing that must be considered is the education of children. This is all encompassing because there are laws and policies prepared which gives children legal right to stand against any atrocious act in their community. Educating children concerning their privileges,right, and other beneficial things. It's said that knowledge is power and the Bible confirms that lack of knowledge people perish. If the children aren't educated then the generation or society will be destroyed and cheated. When organization and the government engage in deliberate education, the rate of child's molestation and other vices would have been curbed. Like the national human rights commission is the one saddle with the responsibility to promote and protect the right of children in Nigeria. Last year there was a case of a child molestation where it escalated to the commission. Prompt response was given and the whole situation was not properly managed and sometimes it ends up having negative impacts in the family.
Another important services provided by organizations is a place to advocate and provide support for children who are affected or experienced some level of neglect or abuse. There are children who happened to be product of sexual abuse. Imagine a young promising girl of less than 13years being molested sexually by the father and her brother. The father comes around her room, makes demand and most at time forces her to sleep with. It gradually became a habit and the brother comes around as well to satisfy his sexual urge. This continues for a while before the matter was made known to the public for intervention. Good policies must be strategized to curtail these kind of abnormality.
It also helps to boost family reunion with broken families. Reconciliation and talk has helped to restore unity between parents and the children.
Implementing some of these services are always difficult hence lots of challenges facing the child service scheme.
Some laws and right if not properly managed makes the child to be more stubborn and misbehave. Sometimes the child feels he has the backing of the law hence could easily have negative effect in the family.
Most policies in Nigeria are not effective compared to other developed nations. Children are valuable assets that should not be taken for granted.
