Tonto is right - Kingsly Speaks

In a chat with Legit.ng, Kingsley Speaks spoke on the psychological and physical vulnerability of young girls, particularly in the context of being exposed to adult relationships or interactions with the opposite sex.

In his words:

"Because of the fragile nature of girls at a very young age, it's advisable that they should be protected at all cost.This damage can come in two forms.
"1) The message that is been sent to the mind of this girl child or teenager might not be managed properly.Bringing the opposite sex home when you have a teenage or below teenage daughter, or just a girl sends a message to that child and this message might not be managed properly. This message is largely that of "being with a man is okay even at that young age or a later age".

"This message can be destructive to that child. Children don't filter messages. Their mind can't filter messages at that age and for this reason this can be destructive to them. If a child sees an adult with the opposite sex most of the time, she'll start thinking of being with men.
2} These girls are exposed to different men who can hurt them."
