My friend kids went to school as usual on Thursday in
komarock. They are twin boys 13 years of age. Around mid morning one of the
twins was not feeling well, he had a stomachache, so the teacher gave him permission
to go home and get to a hospital. (Without calling or informing the mother). The
other twin brother was not comfortable with his sick brother going home alone, and
decided to take him. But as they were going, the teacher saw them and ordered
the other twin to go back to class. So the sick boy continued home alone.
Just a few minutes after, the teacher followed the boy and
told him that he did not want the other twin to take him home as she was going
to take him home herself. She requested that they get a bus as it would be faster.
The teacher had an orange she was eating and she shared with the boy which he accepted,
‘she was his teacher anyway and no reason not to trust her.’
Dreadfully, that was the last thing the boy remembers! That was
on Thursday.
When wake up he found himself with no clothes, with only a
vest and under pant, in a small house mad house, with no windows and one small
door. There were other 6 children in the small house. The other kids were so
weak to even speak or stand as they had been there for weeks, with just a small
hole for ventilation.
By God’s grace on Tuesday 18th June 2013, the boy
saw the small hole and since the house was made of mad, he tried to push the
mad to make a way. He was so weak. From Thursday he had not had anything to eat,
not even a drop of water. With the little strength he had he pushed and his persistent
pain off as he was able to squeeze and get away. He was very bruised but at
least free.
Unaware of where he was, where he was going to go and hungry
he stumbled on some garbage and he consumed anything he could find. A woman
nearby saw the boy and was concerned as the boy was still naked and eating
garbage.’ You can imagine with the freezing weather’. The woman asked him about
his parents and if he knew her mother number and luckily the boy had memorized
her mums number.
The mother had been searching for the boy since Thursday,
reported to the police and was just praying and waiting. She was in the
bathroom when the phone rang. Overjoyed she put some tee-shirt and a lesso’ (half
naked). A mother love for sure. And she rushed
to the direction she was given and called the police who also came to the site.
She borrowed a skirt from another woman so she could give her son the lesso.
The woman and the boy helped direct the police to the hut
they were locked in and rescued the other 6 kids, two of them brothers. The kids
were too weak to even talk or walk. They had not eaten for weeks!!!
The bizarre thing was that the kids had markings on their
legs and private parts. My good guess spells out WITCHCRAFT!
The teacher Rachael is in hiding and has not been seen and
the police are looking for her. They have arrested the head master to help with
the investigation and give more details.
The question is, WHO CAN WE TRUST? If we can’t trust TEACHERS that we entrust our innocent kids to every single day, then who is left?
Mungu atusaidie.
