Children were seen waiting in cars as parents were in nightclubs and bars last night.
This was witnessed by the Divisional Police Commander West (DPC/W) Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Iakobo Vaisewa who warns parents and guardians to prioritize the needs and safety of their children above everything else because when it comes to children, emphasis should be placed on their safety and well-being at all times.
He says this practice is selfish and dangerous and parents were severely warned not to repeat such irresponsible practices where the safety of their children are put at risk.
SSP Vaisewa says before the children were handed back to the care of their parents, officers carefully scrutinized their ability to safely take their children back home.
He says the first point of protection should be from home and parents and the fact that this is happening is worrying.
SSP Vaisewa says they will come down hard on parents and guardians who condone such practices if the warnings are not taken seriously.
