Why A Father Grievously Harmed His Son | Graphic Photo
The rate of abuse meted on children in the country is increasingly disturbing. The use of harmful of objects as a tool to correct a child is nothing short of barbarism and brutality as seen in this graphic photo.
A child has had his body severely burned by his father for two reasons; for being too stubborn and stealing. He was said to have doused his son in hot water.
An Instagram user who shared the horrific photo of the child smeared in palm oil to treat the burns gave little details of the incidence.

This is clearly no way to raise or discipline a child. It is our hope that the authorities look deeply into this matter and do the needful.

How does this stop the boy from being stubborn or stealing? This is barbaric and that man needs to be apprehended.

No matter the crime, nobody has the right to do this to a child.
