A 5-year-old girl who livess with her stepmother was found wandering the streets of Yenagoa, Bayelsa state on Tuesday at past 7 in the evening, hawking groundnuts for her step mum while it rained heavily.

“On my way back from my sister’s place, I passed by the market. It was raining seriously, so much that I was seriously feeling feverish. It was 15 minutes past seven and I was rushing home.

On my way a man stopped the taxi i was in and begged the driver to help take a little girl who has been under the rain selling groundnuts. She was shivering seriously and couldn’t walk. She almost fainted so the people around had to put her in a taxi cos she was walking home under the very heavy rain.

Fortunately she was going my way so i offered to drop her at the junction were she lives. Getting there, it was still raining cats and dogs so i took her under a shelf away from the rain. I was curious to know why a parent will expose their child to such. I asked her some questions and she said she was 5 years, left the house for the market in the morning to sell.

I asked her what she ate and she said she drank just garri in the morning. Where is your mum i asked,and she said her mum was home doing nothing. How can parents be so irresponsible? This is child abuse. Exposing this little girl to such. I got her something to eat,and then took her home. Only to discover that she was actually staying with her father’s wife. ‪#‎live‬ happening here in Yenagoa this evening.# ‪#‎May‬ God help our little children!
