It happened to an orphan, an eleven years old girl in Nairobi but no action has been taken so far. It was on Monday night when suddenly a heard a big scream as I was sleeping.

I looked at my watch it was half past mid night, I wondered who could be screaming at that late hour. The night was cool and bright. The wind was blowing towards the Western direction.

I switched off the light, I heard a big crowd walking on the road since I live near the road. I have not heard any movement or any car moving before and it was risk to walk outside at that hour.

No sooner had  I walked outside than I found a crowd of people holding a twenty four years old man who they were accusing him for sexual abuse The man has been sleeping with an eleven years old girl and the girl defended him by saying he is not the one because the man has been giving her money.

The girl now is suffering from sexual transmitted disease gonorrhea. The man was taken to the police station with minor injuries since he was beaten by the crowd but the police told them they do not have any evidence and they released him.

One girl who is a friend of this girl told the crowd that the man has been sleeping with this girl for three months, since the girl is an orphan no one defended her any more because she defended this man not even her family members who said that the girl refused to complete her primary education and she started this behaviors of moving around with men’s.

 I felt sorry for her as she is young suffering and she does not have someone to help her that’s why she started this habit so as to earn a living. I’m pleading to the government to take action to these people who abuse children in any form of child abuse, they know that children have they rights too but they go ahead and abuse the m.

If this continues many children will be on the dark side of life and who will be responsible for our children in the future?  If the government ignores to take action to these issues of child abuse.
