THE CHURCH SHOULD BE
TO BLAME
Even
though 51% cases of defilement of young school girls are perpetrated by
bodaboda riders, according to Catholic Church findings. The largest proportion
of the blame should be apportioned back to the church itself. The church has
failed to impart good morals in these vulnerable young girls, bodaboda riders
are supposedly taking advantage of. The church is the custodian of morals and
so, whenever there is a deficiency of good morals, the church is solely to
blame. It has completely failed in its role of inculcating good morals.
Had
the church been perfect in its role to nature good morals in children and
parents and even in the bodaboda riders themselves, there would be no
opportunity to confuse the small girls with free rides and or with gifts or
money. As it is, it is the children who provide the riders with a welcoming
attitude for them to take advantage of them. The parents and the church as a whole,
the riders aside , should be the one to blame for ineffective upbringing of the
girls. Both church and parents do not themselves provide good role models
for the children. With most broken homes and parents showing misleading
examples, what do we expect of girls from such a societal set up?
