"content": "parents. Others are forced to work to provide for their families which are not economically endowed. It is a very painful situation because a child is denied his or her rights as enshrined in the Constitution. A child is not a miniature adult. Let a child grow to adulthood without necessarily forcing her to drop out school and get married or start fending for their families. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need to interrogate this Statement by Sen. Kasanga. As I speak, there are some children who are going through harrowing moments visited upon them by their own parents, foster parents or step-parents. Some of them are even burnt as a way of punishing them. I saw one of the newspapers, a photo of a child physically harmed. It was really bad that an adult can go to that extent of abusing a child. I believe that the Committee will do justice to this Statement and ensure that we follow the international protocols on the rights of children to the letter. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity."
