it's real unfortunate that a baby got hurt last Thursday due to no fault of the babe... but i just wanted to say LOUDLY that
she would not have been hurt if she wasn't brought to the rally in the first place!
I'm so irritated with how children have been pulled into the rallies, made to wear the shirts of presidential candidates, holler slogans they may not understand, and in the process possibly get hurt. It's not a good way to introduce your children to the world: violence begets violence my dear inan aman sira out there.
Please, netizens, do your part, help to spread the word to the political parties, your friends, your neighbours to stop involving the children. Although it is their right to assemble, and have expression, we do know for sure that some children are forced to hold banners without anyone giving them information on WHY they need to do it. Of course, children love parties and gatherings, but if parents really care for their children and want to protect them, try to keep them away from rallies that can really turn violent.
I can't help but point out that Arsenio Bano who is spokesperson for Fretilin is also Minister for Labour and Communinity Re-insertion - the ministry that the Division of Social Services falls under - the division that is tasked to look out for the protection of children.
