I have no idea what to write today because I did not have an opportunity to sit today and come up with something that I believed would be of use to anyone. Ever since early morning, I have been going from pillar to post in the case of one close neighbor of mine who was picked up by the police two days ago for being involved in a case of domestic violence. I was the only one who was close to this brother and who could rescue him from the web of the police.
Some people are very mad at times and they do some unthinkable things without even considering what the outcome of their actions would be. I have never participated in such a thing in my entire life. It is one of the many reasons why I am focusing on teaching about family life in my local church gathering. I do not want to be involved in such a man's craziness. There are some people who simply do not have the right way of treating one another in the home.
The brother in question goes to an extreme when trying to discipline one of his kids. It was claimed that the 9-year-old daughter went into the neighbor's garden and stole some fresh maize from the plantation at the back of the house. She was subsequently caught by the owner, who also reprimanded her for what she did. But the punishment of the father did not go well as a father would do to his child.
What the man has done to her small daughter cannot be imagined on the part of a father for his child. He bludgeoned the little girl with an iron rod and put a rope around her neck as if to strangle her. And after that, just in case it was not terrible enough, he got a brand new razor blade and applied it to the flesh of the child with deep incisions all over her body. That is the extent of its severity.
What led to the police being summoned was that in spite of all the commotion, the child still got dressed and attended school with her body full of blood. The moment the class teacher saw how the girl appeared, she sent the girl to the principal's office. Where she was interrogated to determine what had occurred to her. The child confessed all that the father did to her and her confession was guided in a video as evidence against the father. No one believes that the man was the father of the child because of the brutality of the act.
It is the seriousness of the confession that necessitates the school principal to report the matter to the police office that is very near the school. The police officers in the area commenced the arrest of the man as a case of attempt to kill and domestic violence. The man spent 2 days in the cell while we were kept busy pleading for his forgiveness and release.
To start with, they had planned to lead the case to a court of law but our pleading with the child's mother saved the man. I do not know why this man will go so far when disciplining his child. I began to wonder if he was influenced by some hard drugs or alcohol. The problem is, when you discipline your child, you must discipline your child without losing your temper. You must give your child what it needs without instilling fear in the child.
There must be love for discipline to be effective. If you discipline your child in love, you shall get what you need back without going out of control. You will be able to change and help the child to accomplish what you want him or her to attain. Disciplining is simply a solution to every issue that is experienced in life and in that sense, it has a way of showing God's love to the child and a way of showing God's mercy to the parent. God.
Therefore, we were able to successfully bail out and release the man and remit the sum of $65 to the police both for the man's release and treatment of the wound of the child.
But, today's visit to the police station was not without a drama. I did not realize that it is against the law to use a mobile phone in the police office, or if there is any law like this at all in the world somewhere? Anyway, I was involved with the police today because I was texting on my phone in their office.
The phone was already in my pocket as I started experiencing the vibration notifications of the telegram group messages and decided to see about them and respond to some of them. It was precisely at that moment that one of the police officers asked me to hand over my phone, and I refused because I knew that I was innocent. I was just responding to some of the messages. The police officers insisted that I hand over the phone for an examination. They removed the phone from me and started clicking all the apps in sequence to examine the phone for any hidden messages or recordings about what was going on in the office.
It was after some time that they were tired and opted to give back my phone with a lot of abusive words coming from them. I left the compound with a sorrowful heart and wondered if it was against police law to use a mobile phone in a police station. But I was glad that they did not implicate me for doing something wrong with the phone.
It was not my usual day, and I would never wish to experience such a day again. The harassment by policemen I was encountering was enough to discourage me from staying in the location for more time.
