Video of house girl assaulting baby goes viral

The mother of a baby captured on video being molested by her house-help had been suspecting that her child was being abused. Millicent Njeru told The Saturday Standard that the sight of her 15-month old baby being walloped by her house-help broke her heart.

Njeru said she started suspecting her baby was being abused from her reaction whenever she was leaving home for work. The baby would cling on her and wail whenever she stepped out. She also said her house girl appeared detached and moody. On Wednesday, she decided to check into the CCTV camera she had installed.

“Even when I confronted her, she denied. She claimed it was an accident,” said Njeru. Social media was up in angst on the video which has since gone viral. The videos revealed horrifying images of the house girl attempting to feed the baby, then hurling her on the ground, before raining kicks on her tiny body.”

“I was speechless when I watched the CCTV camera...,” Njeru said.

Njeru later posted the disturbing videos on social media under the caption: “This is what my one-year-old baby has been going through... We have reported the matter to police.” The videos drew instant reactions, especially from parents. The matter was reported at Pangani police station.
