Many parents don’t fully understand how much legal authority they give up once their child reaches 18. That’s why parenting should go beyond control — it should focus on guidance and building strong connections.
When you nurture your child with love, wisdom, and sound values, you won’t have to rule through fear when they grow up. They’ll naturally make the right choices on their own.
We urge parents to raise children who can think critically, make wise decisions, and act responsibly — not just follow orders without question.
Because one day, the law will grant them complete independence, and the lessons you instilled will be their guiding light.

Once your child turns 18, he/she is now an adult under the law.
For this reason
You have no control over them again under the law.
1. They can decide to choose and practice any religion of their choice henceforth, even if they wish to become a traditional worshipper
As a parent, you have no right to stop them, if you do.
They can SU£ for breach of their fundamental human right
2. They can now drink alcohol, play gamble, go to clubs, not sleep at home and you have no right to question and stop them, else
Its a breach of their fundamental human right
3. You can not question them on where they choose to go cos they have freedom of movement under the law
4. They now have the right to have consensual s£(x with any opposite gender that is an adult too, even someone of their mothers age and you have no right as their parent to stop them.
5. At 18, they can choose a new parent (Guardian) and declare that you are not their parent again.
You can not force yourself to be their parents again cos dem don pass stage where someone can claim them.
That's the position of the law
I am Atanda
I preach Law without Fear
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
