My landlord and his wife, along with some other neighbors think I'm a wicked person that doesn't like children. This is because I don't allow their children come to play in my apartment. Let me tell you the short story:

I moved in about 7 months ago, and my landlord lives just beside my flat. Everyday, his children (ages 2, 6 and 9) always come to knock that they want to come and play. Sometimes they say they want to watch cartoons since I have a dstv.

The problem is, I live alone, I'm single and I don't have any children for them to play with. I spend most of my time at work except weekends when I love to cook. The children usually come during weekends.

I decided not to let them come and play because I've been hearing about "65 yr old rapes this", " 25 yr old defines that ". I'm still very young, and please don't get me wrong: I'm not saying I have plans to defile anyone's child or that I'm capable of doing that.

I usually see these children going to other flats and other houses on the street to " play" and I don't want a case where someone will defile any of them and I automatically become a suspect, that's why I decided not to let them come in. In fact, when they knock, I don't even answer once I know it's them.

Now, people in the area are saying I'm a bad person that's why I don't like children. I don't want to tell them my reasons.

Dear nairalanders, did I do the right thing? Is there a better way of handling this situation?
Please advice.

You are doing the right thing. They really do not have any business in your apartment . They get their mate for your apartment? Better late than never so it's good you have stopped them now. Dont allow them in again.

You did the right thing but the timing is wrong. Going by your analysis, you have been allowing these kids into your apartment before but stopping them by force is the problem. Tell me those kids never put smile on your face when they visit! If you want to collect something from kids, you have to tempt them with another thing. Just tell their mom that you will be reading for an important exam for the next 2 months and you dont want to b disturbed. She will caution the children for you. Within those months, the children must have gotten use to a new playing ground but mind you, during those months, you have to be 60% strict to the children and 40% nice. Buy them snacks or dash them money.

Good decision. Prisons are full of people today who don't know jack about the crimes they were accused of. Children can be coached by the real perpetrators-with the fear that comes with threats or lure of incentives-to point fingers at innocent people. One could argue that you would not be convicted on the strength of forensic evidence (body fluids, hair, etc). But all the child needs to do is to be assaulted and subsequently point accusing fingers at you. This is Nigeria, where 'investigations' don't live up to the name. Even if one comes out of it, there is still the stain. One might have to relocate, and who knows how one's employers might take the whole thing. Plus the insane amount of money for lawyers and policemen. I applaud your steps.

Yes very right.. I did just thesame..I blocked my landlords children and other tenants children from entering my own flat.. u are building respect for yaself and driving bullshit far away from u... I am a real extrovert on d outside,but once I enter d compound,i head straight to my flat and lock myself up...no time for nonsense.. all we read in papers are true.. landlord pour acid on tenant, tenant rapes Co tenant,this and dat and this...if u stay in ur lane u will surely stay out of trouble.. don't give a hoot about what ur fellow neighbours are saying..

You are doing the right thing.

Looking back at my childhood.....me parents never ever let us go to play in single guy/girl's house.

I guess your landlord needs to get DSTV for him house....like my fellow tenants do for the place where I stay.No children disturbing me for DSTV. smiley

Op I'm going to be straight with you here. The major problem is you not those kids. You will be taking a huge risk if you ever let yourself be alone with the 9 year old. You may not be able to controle your urges. That's the main reason you do not want the kids around. Children of nowadays are very very sexually aware. They may even start something first.

Lock your doors for your own sake. Never be left alone with the 6 or 9 year old. Most of these rape cases were not pre-meditated.

I've decided not to play with them let alone allow them into our apartment. Why? I love neatness, I do iron any called clothes. But one day a boy told his parent that I used iron to inflict injury on him. I cried that day because the boy won't open his mouth when he's been asked face-to-face. But whenever he's indoor with his parent, he re-echoed my name.
My parent were totally confused but have to side the boy at my own expense knowing that I do make use of iron than anybody.
My point I this, better you let people know the reason because you might still be the number one suspect if anything happens and they point at you.
