One Oluseyi Olubiri wrote, "This one she is pure wicked mother , they should take those kids from her"One Nkiru734 wrote, "Is only devil's incarnates that could do that to a child😢 i mean mere hearing the cry of that child alone should make you feel pity for the child. You went further to inflict injuries on a baby that can't even fight for itself. Children are so innocent even after beating them,they will still come back to you for comfort. My question is,how do you feel seeing those inflicted marks on the child?"

One Anihottest wrote, "No way! The report is wrong. They definitely cannot be their biological parents. Maybe it’s a case of aunty/uncle or adopted children. You cannot suffer so much during childbirth to do this to your own kids! Ahn ahn!!"

Punishment for Child Abuse in Nigeria

Child abuse is characterized as an instance where a parent or caregiver puts a child at danger of serious harm by inflicting physical harm, causing death, causing emotional pain, or failing to act at all. The amount of children in the nation who experience mental, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse on a daily basis highlights the need for further study on this subject.

The stigmatization that child abuse causes for the victim is one of its effects, as it has a significant negative influence on society as a whole. Such youngsters develop into emotionally distant, loveless adults who frequently engage in social vices that contribute to unrest in society.

In Nigerian society, it is a well-known truth that kids are forced to beg for money, and there are countless scenes of parents abusing their kids, even as young as babies, exposing them to dangerous environmental toxins and demeaning situations.

Offenders of the aforementioned offences have not been brought to justice under Section 30(1) of the Child's Right Act of 2003. The law expressly forbids the purchase, sale, hire, or any kind of dealing in children for hawking, pleading for alms, prostitution, etc.

Punishment for such acts as stated in Section 30(3) of the Child’s Right Act provides that a person who contravenes the provisions of Subsection (1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of ten years. The prevalence of child abuse in Nigeria due to the fact that the penalty has not been enforced effectively.
