“There is a reason for a child to have their rights protected from abuse and the child should also not abuse the act.
“There should be a policy and legal framework for the government and school authorities to bring up the issue of bullying by setting up punishment and caution measures.
“The teacher should be able to recognize if a child is facing depression due to bullying,” he noted.
The representative of FONWIP,  Adodo Felicia, advised the students to always speak up when they see any of their parents abusing the other.
