CHILD ABUSE: MEET THE 12-YEAR-OLD PRIMARY 3 GIRL WHO IS 7MONTHS PREGNANT [PHOTO]

The Police had arrested the family of the lady and
the family of the man, (who is 20 years old) the
man himself had ran away.

The 12 year-old girl is in Primary 3. The scan was
done and a doctor told us that she is about 7
months pregnant.
He thinks there there could be a problem with the
legs of the child, but he wasn�t sure. We took
the little girl to Amecet, gave her food and one of
the staff has spend some time with her this
afternoon. To see if she knows what�s going on.
She is really a child and is even happy that she
gets a baby. It will be a big problem, she is too
small for a natural birth, it probably should be a
caesarian.
She played Memory with the other children and I
could cry, to see her sitting there with that big
belly, this will be really a child with a child. And
while she should be able to play and have fun,
she is getting a baby. Some things I just can not
understand, they make me angry! Amecet
n�ainapakin (Shelter of Peace) is a ministry of
Youth With A Mission (YWAM)in Soroti, Uganda.
We are reaching out to HIV infected and affected
children. We also are caring for new born babies,
who lost their mother after the delivery. The third
group of children we help, are children who need a
safe place, they mostly come via the police.
