Sonko further revealed that he appreciates receiving street families, orphans, and neglected children in his arms.

Taking to his Twitter account, Sonko also revealed that two of her kids were taken by his ex-lover over similar allegations.

Interestingly, the famous governor has not denied having a child with the lady; however, he has vowed not to give her any money unless she brings the innocent child to him and he brings her up.

"It's hard and fun being Sonko," Sonko twitted.

According to reports, the name of the woman has not yet been revealed.

Child Negligence

It is a type of abuse, an egregious behavior of caregivers (such as parents) that results in a child being deprived of basic needs, such as inadequate supervision, health care, clothing, or housing, as well as other physical, emotional, social, educational, and safety needs. 

All societies have established that certain behaviors must be provided by a caregiver in order for a child to develop physically, socially, and emotionally. Neglect can be caused by a variety of parenting issues, including mental disorders, unplanned pregnancy, substance abuse, unemployment, over-employment, domestic violence, and, in some cases, poverty.

Neglected children are more likely to develop lifelong social, emotional, and health issues, especially if neglected before the age of two.
