Disheartening! CRARN Rescues Children Rejected And Abandoned By Their Families For This Reason| Photos
It’s so disheartening that with civilization all around us, some parents could still harbour thoughts and beliefs that some children are not good; that they are harmful and that they must be done away with.
Taking to their Facebook page, Child’s Right and Rehabilitation Network – (CRARN) shared photos of abandoned children they had rescued this week, in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

According to the story relayed by the charity organization, those children were branded witches and kicked out by their families, who referred to them as “unwanted children.”
Sharing photos of the abandoned children, CRARN wrote:
“#AvoidableEpidemic
Photos of children rescued this week after being abandoned by their families and ostracised from home even with their church dresses. Their parents even feel comfortable to say “they’re unwanted children.” Superstition, poverty and religious brigandage are the major combinations that are fueling this avoidable epidemic.”
A really pathetic matter!
