Editor,

The Ministry of Education has of late increased calls to school administrators to help fight child abuse.

Through you paper, I would like to appeal to every citizen to play a role in protecting children. It is not the responsibility of teachers or local leaders only.

Every parent and adult should treat children as their own and keep a watchful eye.

Through collective responsibility, I believe child abuse can be done away with.

There are already tough laws in place and if the public report child abuse suspects, we can have a safe environment for the children.
