With the rate of sexual abuse, especially as regards children, a young father of two girls is not taking anything to chance in protecting his daughters. Infact, he has been named responsible parenting advocate for standing up for his daughter.
According to the father who tweeted few days ago, his daughter had reported a young man in church, who called her ‘my wife.’ Meanwhile, he had told his daughters to report such things to him, as he attributes it to one of the red flags of abuse.
My second daughter has just reported to me that someone called her "My wife" in church Last night. That phrase is one of the red flagged phrases that they are told to report anytime someone says it to them. I am warning the guy on Sunday. Protect your kids…

While some people think he was going too far by warning the young man concerned, some hailed his decisions, encouraging him to do anything to protect his daughters.
Called the brother out 15 mins ago, asked him why he called my kid his wife, baba was like he was joking. I was furious like are you mad, you sexualize a kid and call it a joke? Well message was delivered crystal clear, I am sure no other kid is being “wifed” Eva, joke or not. https://t.co/hAKkLwC6M1

And Ofcourse I added “hope you know what will likely happen if anyone touches my kid” ….Baba was like “Ahh Boss, I swear nobody fit try am”…he’s remorseful, so I left it at that. Coming back into church my 1st daughter said “Pops that’s the uncle that called Tee “My wife”..

…Told her I had talked to him, that he will never say it again. She said “we won’t even talk to him again”. I didn’t even need to tell them that, it’s in their manual…. Report and stay far away. The brother is already cancelled. Better safe than sorry..

In this age and time, parents need to ensure that their children are safe. Appropriate measures should be put in place and most importantly, parents should make sure they are accessible to their children when they need to talk to them.
