21-year-old desperate mother sells one-month-old son after father impregnated her

When someone’s asks what your value is, most of us are guilty of looking at the question in terms of monetary worth. We have heard of cases on several occasions about people who sell their own children. It never bothered me before that someone would sell their own child until recently when I began to understand what the true meaning of value is. We are wired to survive at all costs and by all means but the question is at what price? Imagine if the moment you were born you were sold at sh.30,000? It’s absurd that someone would put a price on an innocent child. But I won’t be the judge of that. Sexual violence is not an easy event to stomach much less when it results to pregnancy. The damning weight of that situation is what has seen many young girls being forced to sell their own children in order to survive financially.
