Child's Rights has declared war on all celebrities who use their children for public spectacles.
This has been communicated through Bright Appiah, the Executive Director of Child Rights International who stated that the hunt for celebrities who inappropriately use their children to gain trends will soon begin.
“Very soon, they will hear from us on some actions we are going to take in respect to how people are engaging their children on Social Media, for commercial purposes, for advertisements, for all kinds of things.
“If the matter comes up before a competent court of jurisdiction, they can go and say all manner of things before the judge,”
The director solemnly advised celebrities to take down social media pages for their children under 18 or else face steep action.
This comes after it successfully subjected Akuapem Poloo to a 90 jail term after the actress had taken nude images with her seven-year-old son for trends.
The actress pleaded guilty to the publication of obscene material contrary to the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), engaging in domestic violence, namely a conduct that, in any way, undermined another person's privacy or integrity, contrary to Section 1(d) (iii) and 3(2) of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (Act732), and engaging in domestic violence, namely conduct that, in any way, detracted or was likely to detract from another person's dignity and worth as a human being, contrary to Act 732.
In passing the sentence, the judge said she considered all the mitigating factors.
Mrs Cann, however, expressed concern about consistent abuse of children in the country, and the incessant rise in publication of obscene images.
“The court is bothered with posting nude photos on social media. There is no doubt that apart from the canker of rape, defilement, physical assault, the publication of obscene materials is on the increase.
“There is, therefore, the need to uphold our societal values and deal with this canker. The best interest of the child shall be the primary concern of the court,” she concluded.
