The question that would keep one wondering in this part of the world is "should children be given the right to sue their parents? I wouldn't want to completely say no because it all depends and there could be other factors that revolves around it. We are all different and hail from different geographical location of the world which is als characterised by different cultures. Since I was born and now i am getting old i have not seen a child thst sue his parents for any reason except watching them on television and sometimes movies.
I grew up and had most of my life with my parents. One of the fortunate thing i met was in the place of discipline. The kind of measures deployed by mu parents was quite encouraging. There are different ways parents chooses to inforce discipline in their wards. I was born to the family of six even though the lord has called two to be with him. Presently we are four while i assume the third position. As my parents watched me grow, they invested so much in my life in the aspects of prayers and studying God's word such that right from primary school you wouid learn how to read and preach the gospel. They hardly used cane to flog me instead they engage themselves in talking productive thing.
Once they sit you down to talk to you, you'll be amazed at what will follow.
My parents really took time and prayed on me, made sure i had all the necessary things to sustain my life. There were lots of sacrifices made which made me to be who i am today. I don't think discipline a child by a parent is a crime except is done with an ulterior motive. I came from a Christian background where rod aren't meant to be preserved rather is to be used by teacher or parents to correct things. Spare the rod spoil the child.
My parents were really my foundation and i live forever to remember all they have done to me. Had it been i sue them to court for the kind of discipline they gave me where would i have been right now? It would have been a different story all together. I won't support for any reason for a child to sue his parents to court because of discipline or enforcing good morals in their children.
I would like to say that there are some parents that don't know how to chastised their children. In a bit to do that they end up inflicting pains and sometimes could lead to death. There was a man who packed his car in the carrage and it was dusty. His first male child went and scratch the car and inscribed his favourite words for the day. "He wrote i love you daddy". The father didn't cared about what the son wrote on the car instead he became furious and demanded who did that. After he noticed the person that did it, he angrily beat the boy and the boy couldn't survive it at the hospital because the beating was brutal. Hmmm this kind of parent need to be cautioned and possibly taken to court for futher prosecution.
Conclusion
There could be reason why to sue your parent and your culture may accept it but for me on no account should a child sue his parents to court. Learn to accept and conform to any kind of discipline given by them.
Thanks for reading through my entry for week 143e2 of hive learners engagement.
To me, it is not good to sue parents in court because of our culture. But maltreating children from parents used to be discouraging but in some countries children do sue to their parents to court.
To be rightly say, suing parents to court is not good and parents should be careful of how they treat their children. Thank you for sharing.
What an insightful input. Thanks for visiting my blog
Alright
As an African, no one will ever support a child to sue his or her parents.
In our modern world however, certain things have changed. The child is protected by the law. Such law as against beating, spanking, corporal punishment.
The statement:
Has landed a lot of parents in the police custody.
Cruelty on children is not handled with levity by the law enforcement agencies.
Parents should apply love when disciplining their wards, anything below that could be detrimental
Its ok friend and thanks for the input
I agree with you, some parents don't really know how to go about discipline, they transfer aggression instead of love. But some parents like yours are wonderful and for such, that law should be prohibited because even if it's just words a parent use on his child, some kids might still feel their rights were infringed. We live in a funny world, LoL.
@emreal you gave a good input and that's the reality before us now. Thanks for visiting
