Imagine a 12years boy walking up to a lady twice his age to tell her he loves her. The painful part of this is that the boy's mother was there laughing and telling everyone who cared to listen that her son loves women a lot. The boy went ahead to tell the lady that he wants her to be his girlfriend.
If I may ask, what does a boy of 12 years know about love? What does he know about relationship? Isn't that bad parenting? Where do you think such influence came from?
Without mincing words, I believe all these are because of what we allow our children to watch on television and browse online. These days, we see children sitting in front of television watching programmes that are meant to be censored just as they are always glued to theirs phones checking different adult related websites.
Some of these children have now become so disrespectful and lazy that they don't bother to do anything you ask them to and even when you challenge them, they end up shouting at you and this is because of what they watch, see others doing, browse online and read.

Whenever children are so glued to their phones, whatever they are doing or browsing on should and must be reviewed and censored. These children might even be on an adult website without knowing what they are doing because their friends might have told them about it. They might not even realize the danger of what they are doing because they are so innocent.
We should know that at this their tender age, continuous watching of uncensored contents will turn to a habit, which will later turn to a passion and then their minds and thoughts will be corrupted. It seems we don't understand the danger we are exposing these children to.
Sadly, the majority of decadence displayed by children nowadays is caused by parents. Most parents care less of what their children are up to. They don't censor what they do with their phones or what they watch on the television. I strongly believe cable stations should be censored.
You can't just allow curious and intelligent kids access adult materials which could expose them to abuse.
Excuses of being busy and not able to take care your children can sometimes be disastrous if not checked. You will definitely end up regretting your actions because when you see your children acting weird, just know that you've failed as a parent.
Let's not spoil our children because we are rich and can afford to expose them to the Internet or a life of luxury at a tender age. If you must do so, then they must be monitored.
