Sick Neighbouhood Stories

Yesterday i got some rude shock from my neighbourhood.It's the type of story one may find in a place they call UTOPIA,but how it happens so close to us,i may have some hints.....

Caused by extereme poverty,laziness and God knows the rest..Ok here it is.....

There are parents here who figure that they can hardly afford school fees for their children who are attending secondary school.Many of them can afford it,it's only that they waste the money on alcohol and any other worthless activity.

What do they decide to do?The parents plan with their children so that the girls look for a well earning young unmarried man,then they flirt with him as much as possible.Of course in a matter of time the man will want sex.

They will give in to the man's sexual demands once or twice,then they organise with their parents and some unscruplous policemen so that one day in particular,they will get to the man's house and sleep over.

This time,the police will raid the man's place looking for "an underaged girl who is being defiled by a certain man",If they find her there,the man is taken to police facing seven years in jail or negotiate with the girls parents for an out of court settlement.It will be around 1,500,000 Ugandan shillings(US$850)

This usually goes to pay for the girl's scholl fees for that term and her parents get some pocket money too,not forgetting the policemen.Just absurd!!

This is the country with the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the world.So what could be the solution?Drop me hint.
