You are pathetic. That is what has brought this kind of situation. This generation has been let loose and have gone wayward. What is wrong with scolding your own child?

Akos, I do agree with you. Knowing how some Ghanaian parents discipline their children, I suspect the parents did more than scolding. More likely they resorted to physical discipline without any intention of killing her but accidentally did.

In order to avoid prosecution, they might have hanged her dead body to look like she hanged herself.

Where did we go wrong in Ghana a ten year old will even contemplate putting a rope around her neck to check out of this world? As a country, we need to assess our priorities and pay attention to our children.

Sarpong, I don't think any parent or parents will be so wicked to think of doing such a thing even if physical discipline leads to an accidental killing. They would not go to the extent of hanging the child.

THE CHILD MAY HAVE DIED THROUGH THE PUNISHMENS AND WAS HANGED THERE BY SOME ONE ELSE TO COVERUP THE CRIME.
THERE MUST BE THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS BY POLICE .
I DONT BELIEVE WHAT THE MOTHER CLAIMED SINCE MOST OF OUR GHANAIAN WOMEN ARE VERY CRUEL TO CHILDREN.

You mean a taxi was used to convey the girl's body to the mortuary. When will we grow as a nation? I think this practice where taxis are used to convey corpses MUST stop. Taxis are for transporting human beings not corpses. Corpses are conveyed by a hearse, or at worst an ambulance; but not a taxi. The appropriate authorities MUST do something about this. It is inapprorpiate, unhealthy, degrading and uncouth, to say the least.

What are you saying here? There is nothing wrong in using a taxi (in the absence of an ambulance) to convey a corpse to the mortuary provided the body is not in a state of decomposition.

Hearses are used to convey the deceased to his/her final resting place which is the cemetery. Please just keep your civiliation to yourself.

ALL POSSIBILITIES SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO WITH AN AUTOPSY LEST THE REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENED IS COVERED FOREVER. DEPRESSION OVER LONG PERIODS COULD HAVE BEEN AGGRAVATED BY PARENTS HANDLING IF SHE TRULY HANGED HERSELF,. EXHAUSTIVE SOCIAL HISTORY SHOULD BE TAKEN. THIS SHOULD BE A CALL TO LOOK INTO PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY. REMEMBER THE DR RETURNING FROM U.S HANGED HIMSELF SOME YEARS AGO WRITING IN NOTE: HE CANNOT RECONCILE WITH LIFE. HE HAD NO HELP OR PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT.
