Curbing drug, sexual abuse begins with parent involvement

Cases of school children engaging in drug and substance abuse and sexual activity are on the rise, especially since the onset of this year.

Parents are too involved in their careers, leaving the important task of raising children to teachers.

Teachers discipline and instil good values and morals while parents neglect this duty during holidays.

Charity begins at home and parents should make time to talk to and counsel their children and be part of their lives to help become more responsible.
