    "content": "Pursuant to Standing Order No. 43, I seek to make a Statement regarding rising cases of passion killings, adolescent suicides, sponsor syndrome, teenage pregnancies and absentee parenting in the country. It is of concern that the family has ceased to be a safe space with increasing occurrences of domestic violence with spouses, children and the elderly being attacked and killed. The youth are lacking role models and are sinking into a deeper sense of hopelessness and despair, low self-esteem, rejection and inadequate stamina or skills to face life’s challenges and rejection. This has led to rising cases of passion killings, adolescent suicides, sponsor syndrome, teenage pregnancies, absentee parents and replacing of parental guidance with money or material rewards. Children and youth feel that parents, guardians and leaders have not invested in them and do not prioritise their needs."
