    "content": "It is true that many of our police officers and teachers are very upright. However, I also said that the buck stops with the parent. I also said there are some parents who do good parenting, but they end up with some of these fellows. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to relook at the law properly. We need to do so because we do not have examples in our prisons. We are not seeing fellows who have been taken to court. When a 10 year old girl gets pregnant, the society must find out who is responsible. That is what we used to do, where I come from, as a young person. If the person responsible is a grown up man, he must face the music. That fellow must be taken to court and face the law. We need to relook at the Sexual Offences Act because when it was introduced, things were not this bad. We are now not dealing with human beings, but animals. In fact, we are dealing with cases involving a grown up man and a 10 year old child. You cannot explain this; it is madness. If we are dealing with societal madness, we must cure it through legislation. Therefore, we need to relook at our laws."
