The Ugandan baby girl brutalized by a nanny in a video that has shocked the world is alive and well.
Ugandan media are reporting that the country’s Youth and Children Affairs Minister, Ronald Kibuule Monday visited the family of 18-month-old Arnella.
The Minister visited the family at its Naalya home with his own family.
“My children watched the video and insisted on seeing your daughter. I have not slept or concentrated on work since I watched the clip on social media. I am happy God saved her,” the Ugandan Daily Monitor reported him as saying.
He attempted to reach out for the baby girl but she protested.
There were initial reports that the girl was in coma as a result of the savagery she suffered in the hands of the nanny.
But that has turned out to be false.
Reacting to the video of the girl’s abuse which went viral on social media, the Ugandan Minister said, “We are going to design a legal and policy framework to regulate maids and other domestic staff because they are unprofessional. We want to put in place basic professional requirements so that companies that recruit maids are registered and maids who are exploited and abused by their bosses, too, have protection.”
He condemned the maid’s action, and advised parents to exercise due diligence when employing domestic staff to take care of their children.
The Minister said, “I am happy to learn that she is in Luzira. I thought she was at large; I was going to put personal money to ensure she is apprehended so she faces the law. This is unacceptable. It is abominable. I shall keep in touch with the family and follow this to its logical conclusion.”
According to the BBC, 21 million people watched the video of little Arnella’s brutality in just four days on facebook.
Father of the girl, Eric Kamanzi said he installed the camera after he noticed bruises on his daughter and that she was limping. After capturing the violence on film, the police say he reported the incident to the police on 13 November.
The disturbing video has since been widely shared on the internet, provoking horror and upset from Uganda to California, says the BBC.
