I have seen parents kiss their children so deep on the mouth I am always like... 👀 But then, it never seems to be wrong on any level. Akuapem Poloo went totally naked in front of her son to wish him a happy birthday. Truthfully, I, David Bondze-Mbir see absolutely 'NOTHING' wrong with this picture if it had happened just at their home and not for our consumption. My reason being this: I am naturally very comfortable with myself being naked at home. I hate wearing stuff so as a parent, if I have a child under 10 years and every now and then they refuse to knock on my bedroom door to see me in my element, I will not be bothered because I am very comfortable with my nakedness. And will not mind my child or spouse seeing me in that state. My message is always about PRIVACY not SHAME. She deliberately had this picture taken with her son, meaning, she's not worried keeping her clothes off in front of her flesh and blood. There is nothing embarrassing or negative in this. There is nothing wrong or embarrassing about their bodies to be kept hidden. The boy probably would be wondering, "Mum, why is your boobs hanging?" Someday, he is going to learn from his mother or father, or even at school, why the human body has to undergo change. As they get older, mother and son will be more discreet around each other not because they're uncomfortable, but because they may want to draw the lines appropriately. So, when it is time for Akuapem Poloo to undress today, she will tell him - that's if he's in her room talking to her, what she plans to do so he can have the option to leave. When a child reaches that stage of not wanting to be seen naked by his or her mother, he or she wouldn't want to see his or her parent naked either. If her son were ever to say or even act as if he were uncomfortable by the thought of his mother's nakedness, naturally, Poloo will respect it. I still don't see how nudity, when it's within my home and of course, 100% nonsexualized, is going to traumatize my child, especially if we're all on the same page, are all consenting and not so ashamed with it. A child will make it clear when his or her mother or father's nudity no longer works for him or her. They will let you know when it's that time for you to STOP being naked in front of them. You will know because they wouldn't want to be around you naked. We all developed our own sense of modesty while growing up and we kept off even though our parents never entertained such moments with us. But regardless, we would have gotten to that stage of 'we' ve had enough of you being all that in my face' I love this picture for whatever reason. Only, I wouldn't have made it public knowledge. But unfortunately, she's drawn the attention of grown men unto herself, because she's really beautiful a body, and naive. And men preying on such bodies and women will be pursuing her indirectly, trading money for what she can also offer - just to raise this child. Because she's a single parent and has to survive for herself and the boy. Any and everything to make it happen for them Credit: David Bondze-Mbir Disclaimer: The above write-up is solely thoughts of the writer and not Management of ThinkNewsOnline.

The Duchess of Sussex felt “unprotected” by the royal family from claims made in the UK tabloid press against her while she was pregnant, court documents have revealed. Meghan’s assertions were made in the latest submissions in her legal action against the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online publisher, Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), over the publication of extracts from a private handwritten letter she sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle. In legal filings, her lawyers said the duchess had “become the subject of a large number of false and damaging articles by the UK tabloid media, specifically by the defendant [ANL] which caused tremendous emotional distress and damage to her mental health” “As her friends had never seen her in this state before, they were rightly concerned for her welfare, specifically as she was pregnant, unprotected by the institution, and prohibited from defending herself.” Meghan is suing the newspaper group for misuse of private information, breach of data protection and copyright infringement after extracts published in February 2019 reproduced parts of the letter she sent in August 2018. ANL has said Markle shared the letter only after friends of Meghan gave an interview to US People magazine, which he felt vilified him, and he wanted to show it was not the tender missive they had suggested. In response, Meghan’s lawyers claim she was not aware in advance that five friends had spoken anonymously to People magazine, and that she was distressed that one had mentioned the letter, and given an inaccurate account of its contents. It was “mandated” by Kensington Palace “that all friends and family of [Meghan] should say ‘no comment’ when approached by any media outlet, despite misinformation being provided to the UK tabloids about her,” the document states. “This shared frustration amongst the claimant’s friends left everyone feeling silenced, as it appeared that other so-called sources were able to disseminate false statements about the claimant, while people who knew her best were told they needed to remain silent. “The claimant believes that is probably because of this reason, as well as concerns about the press intrusion by the UK tabloids, that a few friends chose to participate and they did so anonymously” Meghan did not know which of her friends had participated “until well after the publication”, the court documents state. She had only discussed the contents of the letter with husband, Prince Harry, her mother, Doria Ragland, one friend, the Kensington Palace communications team and her solicitors, it is said. She had sent it via a trusted business manager to lessen chances of it being intercepted. The documents claim Meghan denies blocking calls from her father after he failed to attend her Windsor Castle wedding due to a cardiac condition or that she had changed her number. It is said she tried to call him five times, and sent numerous texts, which went unanswered, after learning of his health problems. It is also claimed her wedding to Harry raised “tourism revenue of over £1bn”. Last month Mr Justice Warby struck out allegations that the publisher had acted “dishonestly” by leaving out certain passages of the letter. He also struck out allegations that the publisher deliberately “stirred up” issues between Meghan and her father, and that it had an “agenda” of publishing intrusive or offensive stories about her.
