Also, siding with the boy child who is often neglected, Cardi B shared that in the world today boys are as much vulnerable as girls.
She also called out parents who allow their children to be taken advantage of because of religion. “Like a monk kissing on a boy and his parents are there! No! Set boundaries.”
She also tweeted, “This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing are our children.
Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people with money, and power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”
