What happens when the family keeps silent? When a four-year-old girl was defiled at Rwenanura village in Rukungiri district by a 35-year-old man known as Jereva, a resident of the same village, her family did not help. She had been sent to collect water at a nearby borehole where Jereva met her and diverted her to a nearby school and defiled her after reportedly promising to give her sweets. Although she reported to her aunt, the older woman ignored the incident until the victim’s mother paid them a visit. When the girl’s mother was washing her [the girl], she noticed pus in her private parts, prompting the girl to narrate the disturbing ordeal. She also told her mother that she felt pain in her tummy. Jereva, who committed the act, was detained by police briefly after the girl’s mother had reported. He was released upon the intervention of the victim’s grandmother who, shockingly, claimed that the offender was a son to her best friend, and that his detention would ruin their family relationship. A Good Samaritan picked the defiled girl and brought her to Kampala for treatment together with her other four siblings. This was after their mother was banished from the area, being accused of creating divisions in the village. Because her husband had abandoned her with their five children, she was left desperately helpless and had planned to abandon all the children in a nearby town right before the Good Samaritan intervened.....New Vision
