He explained that the low down trend morality in the youth can be associated with pornographic images that have occupied the media.
The Chieftaincy minister blamed parents and guardians for failing to take responsibility in the upbringing of the children.
He explained that some parents and guardians do not censor what their children watch and read in the media.
