African Youth Facing Neglect



Some of us think Violence is still a crime of poverty. Our youth are angry at more than being poor. they are angry at being neglected emotionally more than materially. Some of the youth who are angry are driving nice cars and come from nice homes with nice parents. So why the inner Rage?

Parents pursuit of  wealth has left children emotionally poor and unable to cope with neglect . Too much or too little wealth is still neglect for kids looking for Love. For kids to sit down and eat dinner with their parent and then proceed to go out to murder, shows that parent are not connected to there kids emotionally. To read newspaper and find out a 16 year old stabs friend, to call the pizza delivery guy and then kill him when he arrives is a blaring sign of past parental neglect in not properly orientating our youth to who they really are.

Many may disagree with the notion that it could be parent who are guilty but hold on. Children were not born to murder and have a willful disregard for life. A lack of early childhood love is at the very core of our children's problem. There is a big difference between loving your child and spoiling him/her (i will discuss that in my next post)

To busy and no one watching the house. Parent maybe putting their job or a mate before their babies. Parent you are not on the plantation, so please give your offspring your undivided attention until they are full of love and void of Anger. Parent must understand that the love they received as they were growng up is not sufficent to raise kids with today.

We must all work to defuse this madness and connect all our youth into a collective show of unity.
