This case highlights the need for parents to guide their children and teach them how to express themselves properly.
It is essential for parents to be aware of their children’s activities and the company they keep.
The government also needs to take cases of defilement and blackmail seriously and ensure that perpetrators are punished accordingly.
The sanctity of girls and ladies should be respected, and they should not be forced to give out something they are not willing to.
The police should also be commended for their prompt action in arresting the suspects and ensuring that justice is served.
