A Mother-of-two has been accused of putting her five-year-old daughter’s hands in hot water for stealing her fish.

Tina Idoroyen lives with her daughters at N02, Gregory Street, Ikot Ansa community in Calabar Municipal Local Council of Cross River State.

Idoroyen, a food vendor, reportedly prepared 19 pieces of fish for her business and went out but met only one piece of fish when she returned.

She discovered that her 5-year-old daughter ate the fish so she punished her by dipping her hands in hot water, Guardian reports.

Counsel to Basic Rights Counsel Initiative (BRCI), the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in charge of the child’s case, Mr. James Ibor, alleged that the mother admitted that the little girl had not eaten before stealing the fish.

He said: "The mother alleged that her five-year-old daughter stole her fish, so she dipped her hands in a very hot water, that was how she reacted to the alleged stealing.

"Meanwhile, she admitted that when it happened, the child had not eaten, which means she must have been hungry.

"The woman has nothing, the father of the child abandoned them two years ago and she still has another eight-year-old daughter.

"They can barely feed and she is owing house rent, so if we had not intervened with treatment immediately, that child’s burns would have been badly infected."

Mr Ibor said the matter has not been reported to the police because the child needs the support and care of her mother while in the hospital receiving treatment.

Ibor, who assured that the perpetrator will soon be handed over to the police for prosecution, explained that the child has been moved from a private hospital to the General Hospital in Calabar, where a specialist is handling her treatment.

He said: "A crime has been committed and of course, the police will have to be notified.

"She needs to pay for her crime, but we have not taken that decision yet, because it will not be proper to do that now."

Last time i saw this drama was when my little neighbor’s kid picked meat from a boiling pot of soup on gas cooker.

Biafra women..very wicked

She probably have stolen more than this before, this is a lunatic, these people shouldn’t be giving birth to children na.

The country is hard, but this is outright wickedness. Some women don't deserve to have children.

u see this gender called women , fear them in all aspect, they can go to extra Mile to achieve their aim, see the girl hand

This one is not a mother. Someone should hold this daughter of Jezebel and beat her up like a well battered ram.

That child should be taken from her. She’s dangerous.

is she truly her biological mother

Ko wrong na

Are you sure she's truly her daughter

Igbos again!!

Do same to the witch

Vagina people will never seize to amaze me
Donkeysss

For a 5 year old to steal fish from her mum it is obvious she hasn't been eating well

What women cannot do does not exist

when her daughter grow older and start maltreat her,
Some people who doesn't know why she hates her mother will see her as a bad lady



End time mother

Wait a minute

Pikin stole fish..?

If you truly mother that child for nine months and birth her, will you allow somebody punish her like that because of this act of not for the fact you lack wisdom mama baby..

Africa mentality is sometimes cruel

Mad

Isn't there a better way to correct that daughter of yours instead of dipping her hand in hot water.

Gosh! Woman thou art wicked and you should be punished for this.

This is bad na.Harsh treatment wont correct children.I think either the gal is fond of stealing or the mother is wicked and can't control her emotions.
