Twisted Situation

The challenges of raising children in our African context away from Africa

The Court granted an order for the boy to be taken away from his parents and put in a foster home — the challenges of raising children in our African context away from Africa.

A mother scolded/punished her 10-year-old son, and the son probably told an outsider.

It got to the Police and then to Court.

The Court granted an order for the boy to be taken away from his parents and put in a foster home.

The boy now realizes his mistake and wants to go back home.

He then ran away from his foster home and went back home.

Unfortunately, the Court order still stands, and the Police came and picked up the boy.
