A 3-year-old shouldn’t be placed in a car’s front seat – Yaa Brefo criticizes deceased child's father
Amid the widespread criticism aimed at LilWin for his involvement in the recent tragic accident that claimed the life of a 3-year-old, Nana Yaa Brefo presents a contrasting viewpoint.
She urges Ghanaians not to hastily assign blame solely to LilWin, suggesting that the child's father also bears responsibility for the accident.
Approaching the situation from multiple angles, Nana Yaa Brefo highlights the father's error in allowing his three-year-old child to occupy the front seat, which is against legal regulations.
“A three-year-old, first of all, should not be seated at the front of a vehicle. Why are we quick to judge and say LilWin killed the child? We’re not judges. I think we should slow down a bit and not be quick to judge. The child’s father shouldn’t also be spared from criticism. It’s against the laws of the country to place a three-year-old child in the front seat. It's wrong,” she stated in a viral video.
Expressing her thoughts in a viral video, she emphasized the need to refrain from swift judgment and criticism, advocating for a thorough examination of the circumstances by the police.
“If an accident happens, the police will be at the scene to determine who caused it, then they proceed from there. We haven’t heard anything from the police yet so we shouldn’t judge,” she stated.
She, however, underscored her empathy for the grieving family, acknowledging the profound pain of losing a child.
She also emphasized the seriousness of reckless driving and advocated for justice if LilWin's speeding indeed led to the tragedy.
“I sympathize with the bereaved family. It is painful and as a mother, I can feel their pain. To carry a baby for nine months and lose him is no joke.
"Overspeeding and senseless driving should not be encouraged. If it is indeed true that the child died as a result of LilWin’s act of overspeeding, then we must seek justice for the child,” she retorted.
Nana Yaa Brefo concluded by extending her heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, emphasizing the importance of accountability while also acknowledging the tragic loss they have endured.
