We should have a tough penalty for these shameful so-call men.They do not want to spend money to get settle down with a woman a real woman not kids.Why will anybody of a sound mind commit something like this?I think these guys are sick first of all,they need to be punish in the most toughest manner,and then sent to see a mental doctor and stay on probation until is known that their problem or mental illness is tested again,and again inorder to allow them to return to the general society/public.I agree with the previous comment that if I was in liberia I will make myself available for a march to the president so that we can have a tough penalty for these guys who are raping our children that are our future.Do not allow them in larger society,the ratio of women to men in liberia is over 10:1 why will some one rape a kid? lets talk about this,it is serious.
I am deeply concern about the outgoing arm robberies that continue to harm our people back home. while it is true that we are from a civil war, it is adamant that we must respect human lives once more. Every day you read the news, ther is a case about arm robbery. Is the government doing something to put a hault to such barbaric act? Is the government going to sit down and allow hooligans to run the street of monrovia and its surburbs and do nothing. Our people deserve better and if nothing can be done to stop this, our people will once more be living their lives in fear and as such the government is not capable of providing security for its people.
It'a shame to hear what our African men, most especially Liberian are doing to these inocent children. I once boast of my country and the safty of it when it comes to children, but I now bowed my head in shame, because they are doing exactly what the American men are doing to children in America.
I wish I was in Liberia to multivate mothers, women and children to march to the Executive Mansion and demand servere purnishment for these rapist, and without mercy. This is the life we are living in America, afraid of our child or children being rape, and now you want to tell me that I will come to my country Liberia and live the same fair.
Please!!!!! Ms. President do something; this is completely out of hand, and women of Liberia wake up! do something! we have to protect our children .
