School is pergnant. The child named Obusitse as the father and he did not deny the allegation and reported to have said that the girl is old enough to “have sex.”

This article may be used to:

• illustrate child abuse/molestation
• illustrate violation of Children’s Rights

Trainer’s notes: Even though the article is fairly written with no demeaning words describing the woman, there is where the man puts the blame on the child that she is old enough to “have sex.” All the voices can be heard.

Discussion questions:

• Why do women allow/ bring boyfriends into their children lives?
• Did the woman not suspect it?
• Why is she allowing the man to stay with them?

Training Exercises:
