Not Everything Is What It Looks Like

Sometimes, people can appear caring and welcoming when they want your child to stay with them. They may make promises and act like the child is already part of their family. But after the child settles in, things can change, and the same child may begin to experience discrimination, neglect or harsh treatment.

Nigeria is hard, and many parents are struggling to provide for their children. But the difficult situation in the country should not mean sending a child into unknown hands to suffer.

Parents need to be careful before allowing their children to live with other people. Do not only listen to what people say; watch how they treat the child. Every child deserves love, respect, protection and proper care, wherever they live.
