    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have seen situations where a person comes to a court of law and he is facing charges of child neglect and cites this one as a defence. It makes a lot of sense in that you cannot have two forms of litigations. If you allow this one to start, you will have a situation where children matters are being handled here exclusively and it might have the effect of ousting the jurisdiction of Children’s Court. I think we need to delete this sub-clause and allow all children matters to be dealt with under the Children’s Court. Otherwise, I know, for instance, some cultures where a father who neglects a child does not have the obligation to support that child, and those cultures are repugnant to our senses of morality."
