Be responsible for children’s welfare

SINCE hearing about the death of the late Jenelyn Kennedy, I have been extremely sad and frustrated with how her life ended so soon and in such a tragic way.
Her family, friends and the corrupted system in PNG failed her.
People knew of her suffering yet didn’t try hard enough to help her.
Every teenager tends to explore beyond the boundaries, it is quite normal at that age, but it is the duty of the adults and guardians to correct them and provide encouragement and support when they do.
And if they don’t listen or learn, try even harder to steer them in the right direction.
That is the responsibility of a parent/guardian.
People in PNG need to realise that it is not your right to create a life, it is a blessing!
Because not everyone is able to produce children.
No matter what the circumstances were, you created a life and you are responsible for it no matter how young or old they are, you still need to be the parent.
Children are innocent and God has entrusted that particular life to us on earth for its protection, nourishment and wellbeing.
My heart breaks for the late Jenelyn, she did not have that protection and support from those in her life that are supposed to be responsible adults.
PNG let this be a lesson and reminder to all.
Adults, parents and guardians, no matter the circumstances, you are still responsible for that life.
There is a reason for everything, and if you have found yourself in a position where you are taking care of someone else’s child, remember that God has entrusted that life and responsibility to you.
There are some people who cannot even have children and have to go through extreme measures to do so.
There are some who are longing and praying to God to bless them with a child soon.
So please, take the responsibility of the children in your life seriously and embrace them.
Show them what real love looks like without the money and power.
Teach them right from wrong.
You must live a healthy lifestyle so that you can live longer to provide the care and support for them.
Do not bring them into this world only to die young leaving them lost.
And to the young readers, please do not rush in life.
There is a time for everything.
Do not be too quick to trust anyone. Learn to trust yourself.
Because even those closest to you can betray and hurt you.
We live in a cruel world full of jealousy, hate, anger and sin.
Jenelyn grew up without her biological mother and father, her children are now in the same situation.
I believe that her short life in PNG had its purpose.
And I do hope that everyone learns from her story and changes for a better PNG.
