Gone are days where raising Children was a role of the whole community, this meant that every community member was duty bound to discipline any child found in the wrong.
This shaped the behaviour of many children during development and growth coupled with instilling discipline and morals.
A similar messege was echoed by the Resident District Commissioner of Luuka Samuel Musiho during the celebrations to mark the Day of African Child who encouraged the youths and school-going children to respect the elderly people in their community and the country at large, especially their parents who have, in diverse ways, invested in them.
Musiho who attributes the current moral decadence among children to liberalism, cautioned them to abide by the words of the Bible which admonished them against disobeying their parents and elders.
Citing the diverse opportunities in information Technology the RDC urged the African children to embrace Science and Technology in order to tap into their future development.
The District Probation Officer, Mwajuma Kwegemya appealed to adults to be cautious of what they show to their young ones especillay on social media.
On his part, the LCV chairman, Simon Wakaze urged schools to emphasize instilling African morals, culture and values in children rather than leaving them to copy from internet since a lot of inappropriate material for minors is shared online.
The celebrations where held at Luuka District Headquarters.
