See what a mother did to her own child in Benin (photos)

It's extremely wrong but I kinda understand the 'wicked step-mother' ish, but when you do it to your own child, it's more puzzling. According to a LIB reader, who sent in the report and story, the mother of this child, brutally attacked her this morning at their home in Benin because according to her, she was slow to get ready for school. 

The LIB reader, who is a neighbour to the mother and child, said she constantly maltreats her children, two girls and a boy aged 8, 6 and 5 and beats them with wire, wood, rod etc. The neighbours went to rescue this girl after hearing her shouts for help this morning. They want the children rescued from the woman. Their father is reportedly in prison. Another photo after the cut...

I dunno if we have social workers in Nigeria but if we do, then all these shouldnt just be on the social media, it should first be reported to the appropriate authorities (social workers) then u can talk about it Linda. Putting it on your blog alone isnt enough to stop all these child abuse, make move!

Anonymous said...

Before you condemn, have you asked of the woman's state of mind. Really she is frustrated and needs help, that is where families pitch in. Until she kills them , we will start cry had I known. A woman' s life is full of challenges especially with kids of those ages and no husband to share the emotional burden. She needs her family around her for encouragement. It takes one blind rage and it is all over.

It's not justifiable but it's probably frustration. No money, no power, struggling to feed them. Transfer of aggression of u may. As the husband is in prison, no one to lean on, talk to or go thru the ordeal together. She needs counselling not bashing....

Anonymous said...

Judge not, that you may not be judged o! This treatment is inhumane, no normal mom would do this. But then, who among all of you mom's out there is perfect? Which one of you with a child above 5 have not taken advantage of the child? This mother needs counselling and prayers, not curses and judgement, because the kids will still be with her after this.

There need to be a limited beating force applied on kids, its just not appropraite a child doesnt neccessarily have to be beaten to be corrected there are other forms of purnishing a child. This is just wrong. What if the child dies in the process.

The woman isn't normal. With husband in prison and left alone to cater for 3 kids, I think she's frustrated and pschologically unstable. The earlier the kids are taken from her, the better. You can't do this to a child just 'cos the child didn't get ready for school on time, more or less your own child. This is wrong on every level.

Believe it or not, there's actually a ministry for this. Doubt it functions though. For one if they take the kids, where will they put them? Who will foster them? Due to our mentality, they'll probably rot in some orphanage. If someone agrees to foster them, will the government provide benefits etc. for their upkeep as they should?
Too many problems.

Alot of people will be acting as if this never happened to them when they were young.

Go into the streets of lagos and see if this is not normal day to day nigerian life

you people now come here and start forming western

When i was young i was beaten both by my siblings and parent. My mum will beat me for not coming first 3 the the class my dad will only when my offence is seriously extreme (3 times my whole life) my siblings were extreme from 400 strokes of wire to beaten to a pulp for soaking all my clothes all at once the first time i attempted to wash.

90% of the people in my generation had one experience or the other so i dont think people should just open their mouth and say things like it never happened to them

Things like Nigeria should hv outgrown this xyz

One guy was even asking for social workers (You get light for your house?) and you talk about child abuse

personally i see street hawking more as child abuse that flogging sense in to a child

The whites called it child abuse now they have kids out of control kids going to school and shooting females in school just because he feel the school had more females than males

Kids of 13 years joining gangs and killing fellow teenagers in London

For crying out loud we are Africans and flogging is part of our culture however this case is excessive.

I dont support this case like i said earlier but what i am saying is people should man up and face the truth becuase the media in this age is the larges media to destroy kids lives

very soon kids who steals will start sending pic to linda and she too she will post its as child abuse.

another example 3 day ago she (linda ikeji) called bruce jenner "bruce" yesterday she called him caitlyn what sense is in that.

Kids too will wake up one day and call him self she and feel its a normal thing because he saw it in the news

Come on people lets forget about being sentimental and lets once in awhile stand up to face the truth

dont know why this slight beating is taken so seriously. Linda, this obviously isnt the only case. child abuse is a daily thing here in nigeria. i for one have seen a case where a father almost broke the neck of his son just cause he drove his car that day. the boy had to be hospitalised.

Unknown said...

She looks like kylie jenner.... That's how most african parents are..thinking sparing the rod is always how to restore. Kids (even some adults) to their default setting

Aces said...

Alot of our generation grew up like this, my mum was way worse but we all survived, I'm nt saying it's right but it's our way, it's just recently that people started to pamper children guess how bad most of them turned out.
Sometimes children need that fear in them, it curbs a lot of bad behaviour both home and away, I'm nt planning to beat my kids this bad but I have to find a way for instill that fear in them.

John said...

Believe it, the woman is emotionally broken because of the condition of her husband. She is psychologically distressed. She is a frustrated mother - only one person (and a woman at that) caring, providing, feeding and taking responsibilities for what two persons should. In these times of economic downturn. I am not defending her, but she seriously needs help and counselling. She needs to be pitied and/or assisted. She was merely venting her frustration on her children (though in a wrong manner). It is not easy. But I pray God will make it to be easy for all of us.

Will this be called frustration? No matter what are reasons maybe she is justified. Silly and wicked acts some mothers endanger their kids all in disguise of upbringing.

Anonymous said...

Nigerians are typically a "beat beat" people so this fake outrage here is just bullocks. What do you do when a child offends you, is it not to beat? Nigerian parents are very lazy because they do not take time to actually train a child, they think their hands correct everything and it really does not.

Linda I'm a fan of yours but lately I find myself questioning your motives. Having a platform such as yours and as a woman rather than share a story like this for people who lack understanding to comment and hate on why not privately seek help for the mother. Do you know her story? Is she depressed? Is she employed? Are the father of her children responsible? Learn the back stories of individuals before you dehumanize them. P.S I'm a mother of 4 and will never lay hands on my children. However as a healthcare professional there are underlying issues that need to be taken care of and unfortunately people like you and people in Government in Nigeria refuse to use your platform correctly.

Thank you. Most people here are talking as if they have never been beaten. I am not supporting the woman, but at the same time we should understand her condition and try and counsel her. It is not easy to raise up children with both parents available talk less of being a single mother who is constantly under stress. Most people are making uncanny remarks probably because they don't have children of their own.

I was reading about Eunice Pry "UK most-sadist-mother" when I stumbled on this article online. You know, women are supposed to be the most caring creatures on earth but its disheartening that some are turning otherwise.

This world is really coming to an end. These women seem to forget that they were once children, babies, youngsters; they seem to forget all of that.
Its either they are demented-psycopaths or they aren't humans because, I see no reason why children should suffer that much.

It is so sad
