Thats a wrong emotion to show to a child. Its not fatherly at all, it is rather base and creepy. He has the capacity to sleep with this child in future . Wife run away with your child for your good, you are dealing with a pervert, it starts like this, then to handling and next to sexual abuse. The kind of love expressed here is not a fatherly love, its more romantic, imagine the fool even closing his eyes, whats on his mind is sexual in nature. 2 Likes |

Youngpo413: Dont say what you dony know, if such a picture is seen in the western country, I can bet that the pervert will be in jail by now. For just sharing a bathtub with his granddaughter and posting online, a man was sanctioned in the US. 2 Likes |

Do you have a guilty act right there? Sure. Was there a guilty intention? It's hard to tell, given that he is her father. If there was though, coupled with the guilty act, then it is child abuse. However, if there was no guilty intention, then its safe to say his action simply shows injudiciousness, which is also condemnable. |

adeaks: Fara bale. Let me explain. Generally in law, when deciding whether a crime has been committed, you do so by considering the presence or otherwise of two ingredients. The first is the physical act, otherwise known as the actus reus (guilty act), while the second is the mental intention, otherwise known as mens rea (guilty intention). Excepting a few crimes (like manslaughter for eg) for it to be said that a crime has been committed, the accused must have done the guilty act (if I can use that expression) with a guilty intention. The two must go together before you put a stamp on it. For sexual abuse for eg, there has to be the presence of some form of physical contact (the guilty act), plus the intention to derive some form of sexual pleasure (guilty intention) from such contact. That's the reason I said there is the guilty act here(the wierd kiss), and further stated that I couldn't tell if there was a guilty intention, since the fact that the guy is the baby's dad makes it hard to tell. As such, unless we can prove the guilty intention here, we can't say for sure if there was sexual abuse. Although, some physical acts make it crystal clear that the accused did same with a guilty intention...but that's a story for another day. Whatever the case though, my stance is that the guy exercised poor judgement in kissing that baby that way, regardless of whether he had a guilty intention. And, no, its not wrong for a dad to kiss his baby, but there're different kisses for different occasions. The one in the pix is not for dad and baby. Rara. Hope we've fara baled now. 1 Like |

Gaborone: The first paragraph of your analysis is right.... the second part, not so much. The first sentence of ur second paragraph is actually wrong. For sexual abuse of this nature,(of a minor) mens rea is immaterial as it is a strict liability offence. If the man in this scenario is to be charged, will you charge him with rape? Definitely not. You would rather charge him with sexual abuse and exploitation" and under section 32 of the Child's Right Act, there is no mention of intention. Once the act is deemed to be sexually abusive or exploitative, the intention is immaterial and infact, consent of the minor [if any] will not avail him as a defence. Therefore, contrary to what you wrote, you don't have to prove intention to gain a conviction. At the very least I'm sure you must have heard/read of the old case of R v Prince. Now back to my question. On what legal basis are you rating a kiss for you to know when it becomes a weird kiss thereby constituting an actus reus? Which Act or Law categorizes the kind of kiss that is acceptable and that which is not acceptable? |

There's nothing wrong with the picture posted. The angle at which it was taken makes it appear to be a full-on passionate kiss. But it's not. It's simply a father showing affection to his child. I kiss all my kids on the mouth - my son and my daughters, both at home and out in public, it's no big deal, and no one sees it as wrong or strange. They are at the age where it doesn't really matter. I give all my children baths too, my son and my daughters. I bet certain readers here will say it's wrong. That's their opinion. An innocent picture of a father kissing his daughter, and their dirty minds are already buzzing like beehives. Warped and twisted minds, they can't see the wood for the trees. |

MurderX: Really? I must be one of the lucky ones then. I have kissed my son and daughters on the lips in public, no one has batted an eyelid, no one has called Social Services, no one has thrown me into the slammer. |

priscaoge: Gross exaggeration, sister. Where can you see the father's tongue in the baby's mouth? I guess you must have really good eyes, or mine are really poor, because I can't see the tongue you're seeing. 1 Like |
