Children Rescued After Being Branded Witches, Abandoned By Their Families (Photos)

A Child’s Right and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) has posted photos on
its Facebook page of abandoned children rescued in Akwa Ibom.

The charity organisation whose based is in Akwa Ibom, said the children were branded witches and kicked out by their families.

The post read;

“Photos
of children rescued this week after being abandoned by their families
and ostracised from home even with their church dresses. Their parents
even feel comfortable to say “they’re unwanted children.” Superstition,
poverty and religious brigandage are the major combination that is
fueling this avoidable epidemic”
