  Are you serious? Was it the government who put the fathers of these children on their mothers before the pregnancy came about leading to giving birth? Massa, why? Please let's blame the parents.

  How will these young girls see the usefulness of school when the rate of unemployed University Graduates is on the Rise.

  Ghana as a nation would have benefitted from these girls' education if the ndc government had shown a little care by introducing fee free education right from class one instead of paying useless ex-gratia of astronomical proportions.
  I dont blame mahama and his government because they know that as long as majority of ghanaians remain illitrates they will continue to be in power to steal the nation's wealth to feed their numerous prostitutes.
  The girls are doing this sort of thing because nobody care about them and they must survive in the face of the untold hardships brought about by the visionless ndc government.
  My question is na who cause am ?

  Parents must take full responsibility and keep the girls at home.
  
  The rise in prostitution is an unwelcome consequence of the influx of people into the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis seeking work in the oil and gas industry.
  
  STMA and the regional authorities must take steps to rid the metropolis of such vice.

  This is a nation affair. The government, through the police and the courts, must deal with this menace. Parents can also be prosecuted if they allow their under-age children to ply this trade. It is immoral and damaging to the girls' future. It has nothing to do with hardship, it pure habit on the part of the girls and their amoral partners. It stinks!

  You all blame the girls but what about the ones that pay them? Always blaming the women! Wake up Ghana because morals are suppose to be for both sexes. Where is the proper upbringing for boys and girls. I agree that the lack of jobs is a critical problem, but lack of self-respect is a problem also.

  well said, we always blame the girl/woman as if the burden of moral responsibility was solely theirs. The boys/men who engage them are just as guilty.

  First of all, who are these rich men who have just landed on the beach thus attracting this sudden vice?
  
  The ministry of Women and Children should intervene with all their tools and all. This is where they are most needed, and not just giving speeches whilst collecting fat paychecks and fringe benefits.
