We read a report on the circumstances of a man killing his daughter who came home from primary school at 9.00pm.
MAN KILLS DAUGHTER - FAMILY POSITIVE LIVING - AIDS ...

2 days ago – There has been a very sad report in the Papua New Guinea newspapers
of a man alleged to have beaten his daughter to death with an electric ...
The aunty said that the girl and her school friends were sent home at lunchtime. Instead of coming straight home, they were taken to Gerehu by an aunt of one child. Gerehu is an outer suburb of Port Moresby. They were dropped off at their homes at 7.00pm.
The father tried to contact his daughter by phone but the phone was turned off. Perhaps it had a flat battery. Young girls tend to use their phone a hundred times during the day.
The aunt said that the father loved his children but this was a terrible accident.
Comment: Nomatter what foreign advisors want to make of this, the man was the head of the house and ultimately responsible for safety of his children. He had given his daughter a mobile phone but she did not contact him and may have switched the phone off.
Why did the family at Gerehu not contact the father to tell him his daughter was safe and would be back late? Surely someone had a charged mobile phone with credits.
If my daughter came home late like that, I would imagine her dead in a swamp, raped and murdered. I would have been out of my brain with fear for her safety. I picture myself in that man's shoes.
But then I would not have bashed my daughter brutally as he had done. I would have asked her why she was late and then hugged her.
Then I would have asked her why she bloodywell did not have her phone on. Sorry dad, my battery was flat and I was out of credits.
We used to read of people dying in earlier centuries from 100 lashes with the cat-and-nine-tails. This beating must have been as brutal as such a lashing.
Why are the foreign advisors anti-family and anti-man? Let them promote a sense of responsibility among children. But we can not blame the young girl.
She was just one of many silly young women starting out on life as teenagers. Their last thought is that they have a frantic and worrying father waiting at home. Not cool.
