“…..Am looking at our son now and I can’t believe Nairobi school has wasted him so much. We have to supervise him even as he eats and brushes his teeth.
Went to pick him and found he had lost most of his uniform looking dirty and unkempt. He is even back to peeing in bed something he had never done. He has gone mute and can’t even near the prefects who beat him.
I feel so tired and I don’t have energy to fight right now. Let us first address the health issues. Please pray for him,” the mother’s messages to the WhatsApp Group read.
