Master John Opoku, are you confused? You are saying that the Ghanaian Culture is 'heavy handed' but you should have known how strict the German system is! The so-called 'Presbyterian Discipline' that we know of in Ghana is f ...

Your reply to john is on point
Well written and right on point.
i hate what john poku said u don,t even know anything about helina do not speculate she is my sister right behind me she never abuse any of her kids. you ghanians talk shit about stuff u know nothing about .zip it
Lady Vida those of us who are parents of teenagers here in Diaspora sympathize and can relate to your sister's demise. So please do mot let bofoons like opoku entice you to stereotype you fellow Ghanaians.
John, somehow l am inclined to support all the points you raised. I remember when l was a kid, I loved to draw and we had this man who used to visit my dad and upon seeing me drawing, would always tell me' instead of reading ...

John Van Brobbey, are you going to kill your parents because of what a friend of theirs said? You know very little about life then.
Van B, this is a very very familiar story what you went through. I know one guy who wAs abused and put down for loving to draw. Guess what? He is one of the top architects in Ghana now!
Who knows what happened in this f ...

These mothers just want our sperm to make babies, drives men away, make
the kids hate their fathers, and succeeds in enjoying child support from the govt, but life is not all about money!!!
You are foolish, heartless and irresponsble.
togbe toronto you are stupid n dumb shut your mouth u don,t know my sister n her husband. its a trajedy that can happen to anybody pray it never happen to u fool.
wHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH SEND HIM TO GHANA? The boy is a German citizen because he is born in MEERBUSCH, where they live.
"He is product of Germany why Ghana.this nonsense will never happen in Ghana, lack of discipline,apparently single mom with three kids to take care.Tension has build up over the course of time.Rest in Peace sisi
A 24 year old recently killed his mum in Accra and a girl also killed the mum. So what do you mean by this will never happen in Ghana? read Ghanaian news. It is the same.
17 year old not 24 year old, thats the difference between a man and a teenager
Parents who maltreat their children out of fustration must read and learn a lesson from this .What goes on in your children's head cannot Bed known. It is you duty to love your children no matter how sturbon they become.
There is no evidence in the article that the boy was maltreated by his mother. Contrary to your conclusion, it is possible that the mother, as most mothers do in Obroniland, loved her son too much, spoilt him, and turned him ...

The father might have parted with the family and gone to rent a new apartment in order to allow the mother to enjoy what they call in Germany "kinder geld" as a single mother,lol.

Children in the Western world are spoilt in the name of freedom. How can children dictate to their parents what they like to do and allowed to do it in the name of love and freedom
Kofi Asor,
There's something you need to know about the Western System: there is no time the system allow a parent to cane/maltreat a child as punishment. The ONLY thing a parent could legally do to train their childen is ...

If a child misbehaves and is disciplined obroni says it is maltreatment. That is what comes out of
Child rights without responsibility. I pity the our kids.
Women should learn that a boy gets his identity from his father. If you drive the man away, u can't act as a role model for the boy - especially in Europe- where the extended family is virtually non existent.
Women should d ...

This is pure democracy and child right. that is what the world wants now. No disciplining of children at home and school. Very sad news.

What do know about this family?
Obroni, you're still a Ghanaian and Black, I wonder if you have ever raised a child abroad or Ghana. Wait until you raise your child to adulthood. I wonder if you even know why he stabbed his mom.
Don't mind this arrogant black fool who thinks that being in Europe makes you better than every African. May the Good Lord have mercy on your rotten soul John Opoku!. Read my earlier comment. Is this the same 'Civilized Europ ...
