When I saw this aired on TV and published on media houses social pages that children aged 12-18 were caught in a club in Eldoret engaging in sexual escapades,doing drugs and chewing khat,my spirit sunk low, its barely 24 hours when I saw my brother Tee Mwangi share a link of young school girls dancing dirty in what appeared to me like a school event hyped by young men probably outsiders.... I then wonder how much we have left our kids vulnerable just to anything and anyone to feed them whatever they feel is right.
Its our responsibility and not just parents alone but everyone to act and save my generation before we loose many to premature deaths,HIV/AIDS and drug addictions.
When i look at that age bracket i feel so sad that to begin with,the sex education in our systems begin with use of contraceptives instead of abstinence and so on n so forth to the point that even the government then introduces the use of condoms to kids as young as 9 years(am not refuting the point that its important they be aware, i think its very crucial that our kids are not taught with such options)....because ultimately growing up with anxiety to experiment,they will know it is all OK to mess around so long as "these things are here for us as cheap as 10/-...."

As a minister and a father to be I will only share one word to all who read this and share with the rest....The only best example we can all apply to help save this mess is by going out there,preach and teach our children in schools and at home. Jesus gave the best example in Matthew 19:14. HE said, 'Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.'"
Parents pushed and shoved their children, hoping the famous man would touch them. His assistants, thinking they were protecting Him from unwanted demands, tried to shoo the kids away, but this important man was indignant with His assistants. He said, “Let the children come to Me.” He took them in His arms and hugged them, and the children loved Him. The man’s name was Jesus. He showed His well-intentioned disciples how important children are to God.
Question: Dad…Mom…do you make time for your children like Jesus did – the man who lived an incredibly busy life, but was not too busy for children?
Very often, a child’s importance is shown when we give a listening ear or a hug, when time is what they want and need. When it comes to your kids, ask the Lord to help you be like Jesus. No job is more important than that; even if you are the Son of God.
lets act now!
