A minor child can not come back home with a pizza and you as a parent indulge as if your child is working.
We need to question all that and stand our ground on not promoting such behavior from our children because if we do not, we are sending these children to the devil himself, “said Leuctanant Colonel Khuselwa Matrose the Station commander of Leandra Police Station.
