    "content": "such, the relatives who are now responsible tend to either torture or neglect these children. The children are left just like that. Some programmes should be put in place as we talk about looking for funding. We should look beyond funding, depending on the number of years the parents will be in custody. Some of the offences committed by the parents might have resulted to life in prison. Some offences may cost 20 years or 30 years in jail. By the time they come out, their children would have grown up. If no one provides for their education, these children suffer. Some might end up in the streets or become thugs. The Government should step in and provide a system, not only money, where these children visit their parents in custody and continue having a relationship with them. The Government should also provide programmes to feed these children and some to provide their school fees. Although the Government might not have all the funding, there has to be a system where these children are catered for. This is a Motion each of us should seriously look into to ensure that the leaders of tomorrow, who are these children, are taken care of. I stand here to support the Motion. I thank the Member for bringing it forth. I support the Motion."
