The Children’s department has rescued a seven-year-old girl from an abusive family in Subukia, Nakuru County. 

The Standard One pupil at Blestar Junior Academy has been placed in a children’s home after members of the family shunned and mistreated her, saying she was a bad omen because her mother died after giving birth to her.
