Why parents should talk to their kids about s3x and related matters

A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Mirabel Centre, has urged parents to open up discussions on sex and sex related issues with their children.


The Chief Executive Officer of the group, Itoro Eze-Anaba, said inorder to curb the increasing cases of child abuse, parents must allow children in their formative years to be vocal about sexual matters.

She informed the public on monday in Lagos during the 5th edition of ‘The Conversation’ ;a quarterly public dialogue that focuses on child abuses and modern parenting methods.

She said:

It is high time people started speaking about rape. Parents must allow their children to discuss matters that are sexually-explicit in nature.
Rape matters must evolve from being about the victim to being about the perpetrator because a large number of those who have been assaulted have had to face the consequences of their ordeal despite their innocence.
The CEO of Attitudinal Development International, Timilehin Oyebode, however, said suspected rapists didn’t necessarily deserve jail sentence because “paedophilia is a psychological problem that requires only a psychological solution.”
