A man in his middle years is facing severe criticism for exhibiting poor parenting skills by sharing images on various social media platforms, proudly featuring his young son with a bottle of beer.
In Kenya, it is explicitly stated on every bottle of beer that alcoholic beverages are meant for individuals over the age of 18. Despite this clear guideline, the individual in question, whom we can only describe as misguided, chose to disregard it and allowed his child to consume Tusker Cider.
Whether driven by a desire for attention or notoriety, such thoughtless actions should be unequivocally condemned. The act of providing alcohol to a minor is not only irresponsible but also poses significant risks to the child’s health and well-being.
Murang’a, situated in Central Kenya, is unfortunately grappling with the pervasive issue of alcohol addiction. Introducing children to alcohol at such a tender age only exacerbates this problem, ensuring its persistence for generations to come. It is crucial for society to collectively denounce such behavior and emphasize the importance of responsible parenting to break the cycle of alcohol-related issues in the region.
