Yomi Fabiyi, a popular actor and advocate for human rights, recently expressed his strong condemnation of using children or underage individuals as house helps or domestic servants. Taking to his official social media account, Fabiyi emphasized that this practice represents the worst form of criminality and is an evil act against the child involved. He equated it to a war crime, emphasizing the severity of the offense.
According to Fabiyi, no child should be forced into labor, and poverty, war, or ignorance cannot be used as excuses. He highlighted that using children as maids is not only morally wrong but also punishable by law, carrying the potential for lengthy jail terms.
The actor expressed disappointment and concern about individuals who appear to care for children online but have children working as maids in their own homes. He questioned how these individuals could sleep at night, knowing they are subjecting a child to work and potentially exposing them to various forms of abuse, including sexual abuse.
Fabiyi concluded by asserting that those who engage in such practices have forfeited their moral right to advocate for or work with children. His strong stance against the use of underage house helps aims to raise awareness about the rights and well-being of children, calling for greater protection and ensuring their safe and healthy development.
