However, Bishop Mdoe is very disappointed by the action of some of the parents who
abuse their children. “I cannot understand that some parents can be so cruel and mistreat their children so badly in a
way that is contrary to humanity, society and the teachings of the Church,” he said adding that “These should be stopped immediately at all cost.”

that violence perpetrated by some of the parents against their
own children who are under their care should be condemned and
rebuked by the society and that through prayers the evil act can be replaced by love.
