Social welfare officials warned disabled parents against sending children to beg on streets during a recent fund distribution event. The Kpone Katamanso Municipal Assembly Department of Social Welfare held the education session at the municipal hall. Officials distributed money and items from the disability common fund to people with disabilities. Ms Evelyn Abango from the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development led the discussion. She stressed that using children for street begging violates their basic rights.
Abango explained that children who beg face serious dangers on the streets. Sexual abuse threatens young people who spend time asking for money from strangers. Criminals often target vulnerable children and may force them into illegal activities. The practice also causes lasting emotional damage to developing minds. Parents must find other ways to earn money that do not put their children at risk.
Children belong in classrooms where they can learn important skills for their future. Schools provide safe environments where young people develop social abilities and gain knowledge. Home offers another secure place where families can protect and nurture their children. Street life takes away these opportunities and exposes kids to harmful situations. Education and family support help children grow into successful adults.
Abango asked parents to show patience when dealing with teenage children. Adolescents often act like they know everything and resist adult guidance. Parents should work to build strong connections with their kids during these difficult years. Teenagers face many pressures and feel confused about life changes. Families need to spend time learning what their children need most.
