The Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has urged parents to prioritize their children’s well-being despite personal differences in broken marriages. The police spokesperson emphasized that children should not suffer due to conflicts between their parents, as the emotional and psychological damage could have long-term consequences.
The Impact of Broken Marriages on Children
Divorce or separation is often a painful process, but when handled poorly, the greatest victims are the children. Many children from broken homes experience:
Emotional distress due to the constant conflict between parents.
Psychological instability caused by feeling caught in the middle of their parents’ disputes.
Low self-esteem and trust issues that may affect their future relationships.
Academic struggles and social withdrawal resulting from a lack of emotional support.
The FCT Police PPRO expressed concerns over the rising cases of parental neglect and toxic co-parenting in Nigeria, urging parents to adopt a more mature and child-centered approach in handling separation.
The Call for Healthy Co-Parenting
In a passionate appeal, the police spokesperson encouraged parents to:
Set aside personal grievances and focus on their children’s needs.
Maintain a respectful co-parenting relationship even if they are no longer together.
Avoid using children as tools for revenge or manipulation.
Encourage a positive relationship between the child and both parents, regardless of personal feelings.
The message is a crucial reminder that children deserve stability, love, and emotional security, even if their parents are no longer together.
Public Reactions
The PPRO’s statement has received wide support from Nigerians, with many acknowledging the need for responsible parenting in cases of divorce or separation. Others, however, argue that some situations—such as cases involving abuse—may make co-parenting difficult or impossible.
The Role of Society in Supporting Co-Parenting
Experts suggest that society, religious institutions, and the legal system should play an active role in:
Promoting awareness programs on healthy co-parenting.
Encouraging mediation and counseling for separated parents.
Ensuring legal protection for children’s rights in cases of family breakdown.
At the heart of the message, the FCT Police PPRO reminds all parents that a child’s emotional well-being should always come first—beyond personal conflicts.
