    "content": "When we talk about children and the suffering they have gone through not only in the recent past, but for a very long time, it pains all of us. What pains me most is the fact that two children were killed from wherever they were and then put in a motor vehicle in a police station. Up to now, nothing can be shown as to the origin and whatever happened. Secondly, it is important to note that for such things to happen in a nation or a country like ours, there must be a sick society. Even before we solve the problem of child defilement, we should solve the psychosocial problems that we face in this country. If we try to solve the defilement problem without treating the society as a whole, it means that we shall be cutting the tree from up and not the bottom. Madam Deputy Speaker, we cannot have enough prisons to arrest and lock up these people all the time we hear cases. However, we must solve the social problem that we face, and what mothers face. There are many mothers who are children and have children. We must solve this problem. It is unfortunate that a single woman had to lose three children, not in the fact that they died. Can you imagine your son impregnating two of your daughters? How do you live with that? Where do you take it? Can that be ever rubbed? We have a problem and should find a proper and lasting solution to all the things that we read and see in our society. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support the Statement."
