She is just 14… and her childhood is already over. An orphan from Imo State.
No father. No mother. No safety net.
Hunger and homelessness pushed her into working as a house maid, just to survive.
But the house that promised shelter became the place where her life was shattered.
According to her, she was aẞused and lmpr£gnated there, allegedly by the man of the house and his son. A child vioIated. A child forced to carry a pregnancy. A child made to become a mother before she even understood what womanhood meant.
She carried the pregn@ncy and gave birth.
Then she was sent away. Just like that.
Today, she is back in her village with a baby and nothing else. No money. No baby food.
Sometimes, no proper food for herself.
Out of pain and frustration, she confessed she has thought of abandoning the baby and running away. Not because she is heartless but because suffering can break even adults, talk less of a 14-year-old child.
A chiId was aẞused. A chiId became a mother
And life moved on like nothing happened?
She is crying for just!ce. She just wants the people involved to accept responsibility, either take care of the child or support the upbringing.
