    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I am also known as “Full Network”. I stand with authority as a mother and daughter. That means I am also a child. I support these conventions. This has become a norm for our young girls. To be specific, the white men walk into this country, they leave their families behind in their countries of origin, they cheat our little girls, impregnate them and then leave them knowing very well there is nowhere they will get help from. I have a case that I am very sympathetic to. A Dutch citizen came here, impregnated a 26-year-old girl and frustrated her. She went into depression in Malindi. She got cancer and was moved back to Nairobi to live with her family. She died frustrated. All the man was doing was to push the girl to death. He called the girl all the time to tell her she would die, she was a moving dead body and all sorts of things. This girl went to the Children’s Court before her death. She requested the court to allow her poor mother to take care of her little boy, in case she died. The boy is now with his grandmother since the girl is dead. However, the man does not give them peace. He threatens to go to big courts to get them arrested and put in jail forever because he has money. Honestly, we need protection for our children. The child does not even go to school because the father does not provide his needs. The father told them that there was nothing they could do because they did not know where to get him and he was married back at home. From such a scenario, we need protection for our girls and children. I support this Motion on Ratification of Three Hague Conventions Relating to Matters of Children.
