Rape: Protect your children, Kate Henshaw advises parents

Worried by the reports of rape cases in the country which is common among older men who take advantage of helpless minors, Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has called on parents to watch over their children, declaring that the society is no longer safe.

Henshaw, a mother and a celebrated actress, was particularly miffed by a reported case of a 35-year-old man who allegedly defiled an eight-year-old girl in Somolu area of Lagos State.

She said she was sad and incensed by the rising cases of defilement and rape insisted that those who engaged in the act are cowards who prey on children who can not help or fight for themselves.

“Our Children’s future is being deliberately destroyed daily....the society is no longer safe. We were our neighbours’ keeper, we watched over our children as a community.

My heart is sad, I am incensed.

“Are these men without a soul? Are they so weak and cowardly that they prey on those who cannot help themselves or fight them? Parents watch over your children. Even when they go to friends homes, know the parents. Get their full information and details. Visit or meet up with them.”

All we work hard for to provide them with the best will amount to naught if their minds and bodies are destroyed.”
