Claims Of Increase Child Abuse In Zimbabwe Grows

It is often said that the children are those who pay the price for the errors of adults. It is also evident that the same applies to the events in Zimbabwe. A journalist from the BBC visited the Family Support Trust Clinic and interviewed one of the pedaitricians.

According to Dr. Robert Grey Choto, the problem has been worse since parents of children migrate to other countries and leave their children to distant relatives. The cases of rape and molestation have increased. In the clinic, there have been an increase in 70,000 cases within the last decade with 29,000 cases within the last four years.

It is a crime that in this season where humanity celebrates children that such crimes are allowed to occur. The infants and childrens are the gifts that the human race receive. The gratitude of the humans is to mistreat and hurt children on a physical and psychological basis. The world must know about these atrocities and do something about it.

In the case with Zimbabwe, it could start by charging the governing elite of Zimbabwe [including Mugabe] for crimes against children as well.
