before man nd GOD can u swear with ur entire life and the future dat remains unknown that u haven't flogged someone who is not kid before?

Yes I can swear I have never done that and you better believe it. However I have spoken and scolded them where they did wrong. Praised them when the did something good.

Why are you people saying he has no right to punish them because they are not his kids? How would you feel if it were your own children that were caught doing such, and and your neighbour walks up to you and says ah baba/mama lagbaja, i saw them having sexx wich eachother that day oh, just didn't want to discipline them. You know they are not my kids?

Lets see.....
So you get to your neighbour's place and catch their children "knacking" themselves, you pick up a cane or your slippers, land a few good strokes, accidentally hit the kid on the head and he slumps and never wakes up. What do you do bruv? Sounds like something out of a movie? Trust me it happens and you are have now committed an offence and would be charged. you might get away with manslaughter. THEY ARE NOT YOUR WARDS. You do not have the right to discipline them. Report them and move on with your life....

You should report them to their parents immediately. They are responsible for the children and need to know.
If they believe it or not is no longer your problem.

For God`s sake don`t go asking their teacher or anyone else. That is wrong because the kid`s are not in your care.
You know I was just trying to imagine you catching them and flogging them there. It is a perverse picture,

This kind of thinks happens among siblings, it actually occurs at a much younger age- not sex but the curiosity about each others bodies.

That it developed into this is because there was neglect and lack of parental care.

Hello my fellow nairalanders...
I recently caught two of my neighbour's kids aged 10 & 13 having sex & i flogged & punished them. But de funniest part is that de kids are sexually exposed.

What is bothering me is that...should I tell their parents & On what ways should I tell them because the parents might take it against me/might not believe me.

What is ur take on that?

First, establish a relationship with the children, then call each of them separately to advice them about the wrong in the things they were doing. Then, let them know that sex is the preserve of married couples ONLY, and that whoever indulges in such without being married will face severe punishment by God. This is to bring to their knowledge that sex is wrong when you are not married, and especially as they children of same parent.
Now, after you have gained their confidence, let them know that there's something that their mummy and daddy needed to educate them about, and that at the appropriate time, you will lead them to their parents for the lesson. In all of this, show them that you love them. Okay.

Then, you will now start to work on their parents. First, ask their parents if they've ever observed and funny and unnecessary behaviour among their children. This will draw their curiosity towards you wanting to hear something. You will not tell them what you have witnessed between their children, but gladly inform them that sex education is not wrong if they teach their children about it. At this level, they will become more apprehensive.
Finally, tell them that there's something you want them to know about their children, which you will not tell them yourself but will do if they will allow you to invite their children into the matter.

When the children are finally brought in, due to the education you've already given them, they will now realised their error and will tell their parents all they have been doing behind them. Don't forget that these children must have seen their parents doing it previously or they must have learnt it from bad company which they are now practising. For a loving parents, they will thank and even praise you for your wise counsel, and I tell you, this will mark the beginning of these parents to take a closer and careful observation of their children. I am sure they are the careless ones hence this could be happening under their nose without their knowledge.

Anyway, people may not buy this counsel of mine, but I assure you that it will work. GOD bless you.

Didn't you know all this before you decided to flog the kids? ..... and isn't this why you should have reported the kids to their parents? I'm almost sure the kids are still carrying on and if in a few years time there is pregnancy you will have no problem in letting the parents know about this incident.

A child belongs to a village. I agree.

The laws in Nigeria and all over the world are the same.
It is a criminal offense to beat them.

Now for all of you praising the OP. Just answer one question. He beat them for one single act he caught them doing. What has he achieved?

Pain for an instance, probably hitting on naked children- which is perverse.

But what has he achieved- the kid`s will be more careful about hiding it in the future.
He cannot go to their home and monitor them.

You should rather be angry with the OP for not telling the parents. It is only the parents that can be able to control it effectively. Even probably sending one of to boarding school or a relation.
However he has left the kid`s exposed to the dangers of this abomination. I wonder how many times they have committed the same offence since then.

Now to you crowd that want to raise the village- ask him to go and tell the parents. Then you are contributing to the raising of the children.
Hailing him for flogging the children is not the right approach.

As a parent I would be mad at you for not telling me at once. He should have done that.
What those children did would have been criminal if they were adults. But the OP has committed more than two crimes.
- beating children
- beating them naked.
- aiding and abating and concealing an offence.

So you see the OP neglected his actual duty, which was to report the kid`s and went into doing something he was not meant to do.

Remember I never said that the kid`s did not deserve a beating and certainly they would have gotten a good trashing from their parents.
Yet I also believe that it was the neglect of their parental duties that led to that.

And finally a little bit in my own affair.
For those calling me a child. I would like you to know that I my first son is 31 and in a very good job. My next two are studying in elite uni`s and the rest are coming up.
I am a very strict mother but also one with heart. I command respect from my children and high moral standards but I do not need to beat them into it.
raising black kid`s in Europe, keeping them off the streets and down to earth, off drugs, alcohol and so much more is a very difficult task. If my method has worked out for my kid`s then it cannot be so bad.

Now I have had several African kid`s stay with me, the longest was for two years. Many of them run to me when they have conflicts with their parents and want to leave home and get housed by the authorities. Some are even brought to me by the authorities

When they come to me I put them up and listen to them, I explain to them why their parents are so strict and I also help the parents to understand the children and how the feel.
See what I want you to understand is not that I am doing some kind of charity- certainly not! I love kid`S and always have an open door and ear for them.
I just want you to understand that many parents are loosing their kid`s because they cannot find the healthy balance for bringing up kid`s that are growing up in the conditions exciting today. The african way ! the african way! and then the kid`s are away! undecided

You see apparently all the flogging your parents gave you never helped make a decent young man out of you.

My kid`s would never ever talk like that, not even to a child.
Now put your tail between your legs and hush off angry angry angry

Gosh the standard of education these days! Young kid`s that cannot even read and think objectively. lipsrsealed

Please let their parents know as soon as possible, but they should keep you out of it by not telling them you did. They can refrain from questioning them for now because they will deny rather they should work at catching them red handed while trying to indulge in the act because they will still want to go down that way again.

He has no right to flog them because they are not his kid`s. The kid`s are not under his care. He is not related to them in any way.

No matter what they did there is no justification.

Smh at these 'you dont have right to flog them' shouts.
This is one of the mentality the current generation of parents have adopted ; the dont touch my child parents.
This mentality is part of the reasons for the growing decadence in our society.
I could remember while i was growing up, we had this general fear of doing anything wrong.
Not just the fear of being reprimanded by our parents but also neighbors alike.
But nowadays, most children feel 'untouchable' cos of the percieved "nobody should touch my children" mentality.

Op this is a very sensitive issue which you have to thread carefully on.
I caught my neighbours daughter aged 13 one day in my former house having s.ex with an adult in the annex toilet. I called and warned her. I later went to her elder sister's husband whom she lives with, told him what I saw and I advised to keep monitoring the girl in order to keep her on line.
I was surprised that some minutes after, this same husband called me to come and repeat what I told him earlier. I was surprised, yet I repeated when I told him. The girl immediately countered me that I was the one having and forcing her in the toilet for s.ex. Shocked was I and before you can say Jack the sister's husband descend on me, called other people and I was almost killed. The police were invited and was taking to the station in handcuff. To cut a long story short, a top officer from the area command was called by me. He mandated the IPO to thoroughly and diligently investigates the case. Eventually the truth was revealed, with a lot of begging for forgiveness from people I have to drop the case.
In this vain I will strongly advise you that you should forget about the incident, none of the kids are yours, the society is so bad and corrupt that any step you take to correct same may be read and termed wrongly.
Be careful and think deeply before you act.

Exactly!
But that culture is fast changing now.
Nowadays, some parents are ready to eat you up, if you dare as much as hit their kids, not minding whatever reason they were reprimanded.
Though some folks take it extreme.

Still don't agree with you. Our fore father's will always say that Oju merin lo n bimo, sugbon igba oju lo n to. If those kids grow up and end up rapeing other people's children then you have a case to answer. Both to man and God. So because its not your own child the neighbour is sleeping with that's why you think its not your problem right?

Its ur job to b der counsellor to teach & warn dem abt d effects of premarital sex.
