This Monday, the mother came,i thought that she came to give her consent only for her to tell me that she found a place to take the boy to, that she was told that her son's case is spiritual , that her pastor's wife directed her to the place

Liliyann:
Did the boy fill the bio data form?
There should be a register that has his parent information including where they stay, I really appreciate your effort towards the boy, you can trace the address to make sure the boy is safe, some people can be heartless even to their own child.

The truth is that religion and logic do not and cannot work together. If you accept one, you must have to do away with or largely reduce the application of the other.

That said, the woman in question was probably hoping you will give her cash for the boy's treatment instead of doing it yourself.

Some years ago, there was this lady that drops her sons (2 & 4) off in a shop behind my mom's while she goes to hustle. The lady hawks sachet water in traffic. My mom noticed that the boy's were uncircumcised and asked the lady why and she said that she doesnt have momey for it now. My mom asked what it will cost amd she said 6k which my mom later gave her. Could you believe that those boys are still uncircumcised till this day and they are grown now. The younger one should be about 6.
Some parents can conveniently make money out of their children's predicament without batting an eyelid.

Poverty or wickedness? I don't know.

dawnomike:
Thanks so much for showing this much concern... You have realy tried on your part. Unfortunately, there is little to nothing you can do without the mum's consent. Just let it go and pray the boy is fine.

She's using the spiritual reason as an excuse. She doesn't want to pay money for his treatment

bukatyne:


But they want to treat him for her.
She is not to pay anything, just give consent.

nazablossom:
I have found people that will foot the bills, let her give consent shikena

Are you comparing non-circumcision to a broken arm?

What's the point of this story of yours? Too much irrelevant gossip here.


@ op

Pray over the matter, preach to the lady and commit the situation to Jesus.

Are you born again and have you accepted Jesus as your lord and saviour?

creolehunt:


Irrelevant because it doesn't align with my line of thought. Bravo. Why not pray for the boy myself as a born again?

I am not mentally alright, dont quote me, thanks,

Nonsense. Keep your white jesus to yourself

sassysure:
No father?

When filling forms, there is always a place for whom to
contact during emergency if the mother isn't available.
Contact that person.

If non, leave them alone.
U have done your part.

nazablossom:
They are separated. The mother is the only contact we have. I will let them be.

I'm a volunteer teacher in one of Government Primary School in Lagos. I have this boy admitted this session in my class. The boy has a broken arm (around the elbow). I believe that it was not handled well because it has this offensive odour and it's bringing out pus.
The arm also looks numb and inactive, he is not making use of it.
I asked the boy to call the mother because I wanted to know what she's doing about the boy's situation.

She came and started narrating her ordeal, how she's the only one taking care of the boy, that she's hawking, that she is looking for money to get the boy treated. She broke down completely while telling her story. I was touched by her predicament. I wanted to help but I'm not earning much. I even wanted to bring it here to solicit for help on their behalf but later changed my mind.

I met one lady that works with an NGO and narrated the boy's story to her, she promised to table his matter in their office.

This year, the lady came to our school and asked to see the boy. I called the boy for her, after seeing him, she promised to bring one of her superiors to our school. The next day, they came and met with our Headmistress. They also promised to help but will need the mother's consent. The boy was asked to inform the mother about it.

This Monday, the mother came,i thought that she came to give her consent only for her to tell me that she found a place to take the boy to, that she was told that her son's case is spiritual , that her pastor's wife directed her to the place bla bla bla.

Now, the boy hasn't been in school since then.

I don't know what to do again. I don't know how to convince the mother to let her son get proper treatment. I fear for the boy, the hand may be amputed in future if nothing is done about it. It really that bad.

sassysure:

Please do. U have tried your best.
Before they will rope u in on what u don't have any idea of.

Your good heart will open many doors for u. The universe recognises and is taking note.
