A 10-year-old boy has been admitted at the Nyeri County Referral Hospital after his stepfather injured his manhood for allegedly stealing Ksh50.
According to the boy’s mother, the incident happened last week but the cruel stepfather had forced the Class Four pupil into silence.
The mother only learned of the incident over the weekend when one of her daughters told her that the brother was in pain.
