A mother’s search for work has turned into a nightmare after her youngest daughter was found critically injured while under the care of a babysitter.
Mary Kioko, who had traveled to Nairobi to find work to support her three children, left her four-year-old daughter at home with someone she trusted. However, she was soon called back to the village with tragic news.
Her daughter had been found unconscious and unresponsive, connected to oxygen, and unable to speak or move.
Doctors at Kenyatta National Hospital say the child’s condition remains critical, and she is currently in the Intensive Care Unit fighting for her life.
In an emotional video shared by former Nairobi head of environment Geoffrey Mosiria, Mary revealed her despair as she keeps vigil at her daughter’s bedside. She expressed fear and uncertainty over whether her daughter will ever wake up.
The family faces additional challenges as they struggle with daily survival. With no income, Mary has had to stay at the hospital around the clock, while one of her other children had to leave a friend’s home that had been offering temporary shelter.
The accused babysitter is still at large, and the family is calling for urgent police action. Mosiria has appealed to the Inspector General of Police to intervene, saying the child deserves justice and the family needs protection.
Well-wishers have rallied to support Mary Kioko. Those willing to help can reach her on 0758790646 to provide assistance with hospital bills and basic needs.
Social media users have reacted with shock and concern. Lydia Onkoba urged parents to be careful when choosing caregivers, while Faith K Ambani lamented the cruelty people can show toward children.
Jacinta Katoi warned that she would never tolerate anyone harming her own children.
This incident follows a previous rescue by Mosiria, who had helped a young girl found unconscious on the streets for two days.
Mosiria quickly responded to the call and ensured the child received medical care, highlighting the urgent need for community vigilance and protection of children.
