Mark Okolo who has since dropped out of school said
that problem started after the mother separated from the father five
years ago. The dad remarried and denied him a chance to go to school.
He said that despite being in a private school, he
dropped this year after the father confisticated his uniform and his
books forcing him to engage in farm work.
The teary boy told the media that on this latest
incident, the dad dragged him from outside where he was seated and
started beating him. He locked him in the house where he told him to
defecate and to eat the feaces. He refused only for the dad to hit him
with a club forcing him to eat unwillingly.
As if that what was not enough the dad ordered him to
drink his urine! He kept on beating him and kicking his whole body. The
father barred the neighbours who rushed to his aid by threatening them
with a panga.
Later on the boy explained that the father dumped him
in a maize plantation to die. Good Samaritans rushed him to Teso
District hospital Kocholya where he is currently admitted.
The area Police Boss who confirmed the incident said
that investigations had been launched to arrest the man who escaped
after the incident. The police boss condemned the incident and urged
parents to treat their children well because they have their rights to
love and protection.
