Negligence, Contributed By @Olawalium
I watched a movie this evening and it hit me. Rape, being caused by negligence on the part of parents. The story was carved out to perfection and I am impressed. I hope I will be able to do justice to it.
I am a firm believer that parents should make everything comfortable for their children but they should never over indulge them. They need to be there for their wards as at when due but there should always be balance.
They parents would sometimes travel for six months without any of them being at home, leaving just their two children at home; a boy and a girl. The girl would always dress up in the presence of the elder brother, not knowing he has been getting sexually aroused by that. He has been looking for a perfect opportunity to exercise his thoughts until one day when the younger sister was eaten up with guilt because she accidentally hit a mad man, and she ran away. He overheard the conversation and he used that as a blackmailing tool and he slept with the younger sister. He did it for several weeks until the sister died.
They tried to pin it on the gatekeeper who they have always assumed was a rapist, but with several investigations, they noticed it was the brother; based on the diary of the late sister.
We often look for an easy person to blame, when we have failed in our duties.
The brother was arrested and it was obvious the parents just lost two children. Life doesn’t come with manuals so we need to learn from other people’s experiences so we won’t have to make the same mistake.
We need to be careful about children particularly, in this social media age. We need to give proper monitoring to them even in our bid to give them a better life. We need not to over pamper or over indulge them where situations are concerned. The boy that raped and later killed his sister by mistake, later told how he has been left all alone with his sister for months anytime his parents travel for months. He felt lonely for years and he found a greater company with his sister.
…to be continued…
Thank you for your time.

@communitycion sir!
We have to pay the brunt of our negligence as a big loss. Parents have the responsibility to take proper care of their children and keep an eye on their activities. Relationships do not take much time to get tarnished. Our good values can guide children right.
Thank you
