A Timely Advice: For People Who Give Out Their Children To Relatives or Friends And People Who Are Busy Maltreating Other People's Children

 

I found this quite interesting and I thought I could

share this piece written by Vivyan, a friend and a sister.

 

If you belong to the category of people who

give their children out to Relatives or friends,

you better think twice again.

 

I once knew this family who were very much

admired and respected, the wife was a friend

of mine whom I always looked to for guidance

and counsel cos she was so much older.

Now, there was this sickly looking little girl in

this household what was terribly maltreated.

She use to pass the night in the kitchen even

though they had so much rooms in this very

massive house.

I saw myself in that little girl because it

happened to me too.

Anytime I tried to speak to my friend she'll get

all worked up, I wasn't even allowed to be nice

to her.

Every time I went to bed, I'd feel this very

strong urge to do something for this girl.

Then one day, after talking to several people. .I

went to work!

I traveled to her village and traced her parents,

that was how I discovered she was related to

the man (husband).

Then I urged them to come get their child if

they wanted her alive!

Well, everyone pointed accusing fingers at me

for butting in and I felt bad for years..

My peace came years later when I got a

message on Facebook, from that Lil girl who

looked for me just to thank me for giving her

life back.

 

This is a trend I see everywhere this days!!

Women, what's the story? Why can't you afford

to treat other little children in your care like

you treat your children?

Yes kids can be exasperating! But what of your

kids? Can't you love this kids the way you love

your children?

Can you not discipline in love?

Why can't this kids eat like your kids? Why must

they always eat leftovers and sleep in places

like the store, kitchen and generator rooms?

Why can't you hug them and send then to good

schools too even to when you can afford to?

What is it about this children that just brings

out the Devils in you?

Do you not know that what comes around goes

around?

How can you go to bed at night and sleep

soundly after unleashing hell on this helpless

kids?

How can you even claim to be from God when

you can't even treat helpless Child right?

How would you feel if your children were

treated in such manner?

While you go about you daily hustles, pls think

about this and turn a new leaf! !

Love costs nothing if it's really LOVE! !
