This topic reminds me of my childhood when I wished to lock up my daddy for beating me. I do wish I had grown up back then so I could slap his face, It's funny how, as an adult, I don't even have that feeling anymore; I can't even stand anybody disrespecting my daddy right now. If not for the way my father handled me.
I don't know how I would have turned out, I was very stubborn and quiet at the same time. I don't like being forced to do anything, especially if it's something that won't favor me.
I was called a particular name in Igbo back then, what I said, is what would happen
Giving children right to sue will look very funny and will hurt most of our African parents ego. If government put in place laws that if a parents causes body harm to a child ,let the child report or sue their parents, we will have less damaged souls in Africa.
Many parents have taken this advantage of kids having no right to brutalized their kids mentally. That's why you see some kids are messed up.
I know that some countries allow children to sue their parents for even the least scolding them or for even yelling at them. Cops will just arrive at your house and pick you up.
I have an uncle who stayed in the United Kingdom; he once brought all his children home and enrolled them in school here for discipline. When he first brought them back from the United Kingdom, he would always spank the two older children, and my grandma would be like, why are you always hitting them?
He said that these two made him lose a contract he was pursuing just because he spanked them for misbehaving, and they called the cops on him; he lost the contract for that singular act. He was so pissed, and he just arranged and told them that they would be going on a vacation to another country; that's how he bundled them back to Nigeria.
Giving children the right to sue their parents is going to be chaotic in a way because right now, only the gentle parenting that this generation is practicing is causing mayhem; you can imagine what it will look like if given the chance to sue their parents for every little thing.
Although some parents deserve to be
sued, some parents treat their children like common criminals; if not, tell me what kind of crime a child will commit that will make the parents pour hot water on the child, with no remorse.
I think some rights should be given to children, especially those whose parents abuse them emotionally and physically. Welfare is not even helping matters at all. If not, tell me why my former neighbor is still walking freely; if you look at the first child's body, you can't take anything from her hand and eat because of constant abuse from the parents has made her whole body to have scars.
Let the kids have little right but not full authority, discipline your child but don't leave a scar.
