Wednesday, January 7, 2026 - A disturbing incident has sparked widespread discussion online after a woman, believed to be struggling with depression, was captured on video attempting to abandon her young child in a parking lot before being confronted by members of the public.
In the videos, the visibly distressed woman is seen placing
the child on the ground near parked vehicles and beginning to walk away.
Concerned onlookers quickly rush toward her, urging her to
pick up the child.
However, the woman appears overwhelmed and emotionally
detached, insisting that she no longer wants the baby.
“Chukueni huyo mtoto na mkitaka muue,” she is heard
saying as shocked women attempt to plead with her.
The frightened child remains seated on the ground as the
tense confrontation unfolds, with members of the public eventually ensuring the
child’s safety.
The incident has reignited conversation about Kenya’s
growing mental-health crisis, particularly among struggling parents facing
economic hardship, emotional burnout, and limited access to counseling and
support services.
Watch the videos.
