"Bring up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" prov. 22vs6....I have known this bible passage by heart for over 20years now. Children are gullible and weak creatures that need our protection and undiluted love to grow and develop. What now happens if we fail them in this God given privilege? We disappoint them, ourselves and ultimately God. What adorns a man's heart? What resides there? Good and Evil.
You express one and suppress the other, one then becomes Dominant whereas the other Recessive. Life dictates which is expressed. Love, hate, poverty, affluence, squalor, depression, happiness just about life itself. It will serve you the trigger to shoot out one of these characters. A young man, about 26-28yr, burnt the hands of his 10year old daughter after, according to him, she had been accused for the umpteenth time of pilfering from the market square because she was hungry. She is a product of a broken home raised by her dad and her paternal grandparents for over 6years now. Well when she was brought to our facility, she was febrile and the palms were already decaying with offensive odour and discharges. We were able to debride, dress and stabilize her. She is currently recuperating. You see, I hear of people mistreating their wards and house helps in all manner of inhuman ways, but have I heard of a parent going this far as a punishment to their own blood? I don't think so. I mean in the full glare of your consciousness and conscience, you pick up YOUR daughter's hands and force them into a burning flame and leave them there while she struggles in unbelievable pain because she has been accused of theft? Men I am done. I am. BEFORE DEBRIDEMENT AND AFTER.
