The teenager frowned at the manner at which victims of sexual abuses are publicly humiliated and blamed by their parents for their ordeals.

This she said leaves most cases unreported and hastily settled. She said other parents ended up forcing their victim children into early marriage to the perpetrators.

A popular business woman in Bo, Aminata Songai who witnessed the celebration agreed with the victim but said the police are to be blamed.

She revealed that they spend longer time looking for evidences before charging such matters to court, thus causing the parents to lose patience and prefer settling the matter at community level.

She said such matters are not to be delayed and in some cases she said the police have failed to charge the matters to court for lack of evidence.
