I hereby vehemently condemn the sharing of photos of anyone’s child, disabled or not! We all have the responsibility to protect our children, and if we can’t do that, then we are failing as a society! That is absolutely unacceptable!
We have been crossing many lines lately, and are now close to the last line at the end of the cliff, and there are big and sharp rocks ? waiting for us on impact. No amount of vote ? is worth unraveling the fabric of our society. And even if you win, you will be unable to govern such a society.
Even when Goloh was killing people, no one had the right to share photos of his minor children. I remember getting pictures of Goloh’s kids many times during the struggle, but never, in my wildest dreams, would I drag them around. It is indecent and pathetic! We all have an obligation to protect our children. Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents, and the sooner we recognize that, the better we will be as a people and society!
If you are a political leader and have been hesitant or afraid to address this issue, please step up now! Tell all your supporters engage in this politics of decadence to withdraw their support for you. Trust me, you don’t want to govern a society where decadence is normalized and reward, it would be a failed venture. As a matter of fact, all the political party leaders should put their differences aside and jointly come out to address this issue as representatives of the people! Act like the leaders you claim to be! Responsible leaders who care for their people, don’t sit on the sidelines and watch their society disintegrate! You have been sitting on the sidelines for far too long. Act now and take ownership of your leadership!
