Wasn't smothering a child's face with your palm rubbing color all over it for 4 secs enough as fatherly love, that u had to pull the child's face then to strategically peck her on the lip??? There was no wrong camera angle or the child moving her face mistakenly BTW#papon

Disgusting! Shameful!Perverse! This man Papon should be arrested ! The girls parents succumbing to pressure ! The explanations given are ridiculous! Haven’t felt such anger and shame to see this happen and some on tv debates actually defending the act !

Saving a girl child in the womb is not enough when a Govt. fails to safeguard her in life. Stronger laws against sexual abuse need to be made & put in action, in favour of victims. Almost 24hrs of #Papon newsbreak and he still roams free justifying his perversion against a child.
