I swear, i can't even afford to continue watching the dehumanising treatment on such little girl. Really, the OP is fool, a big Fool indeed. you have got a huge evidence to pull a trigger. Even if I don't have a step, I will surely get one for this reason. I will gun the culprit and confirm when I dead and report myself.. you know the state of out justice system and you still fell for it.

I am not sure you are also mentally stable. imagine !!!!

I have a Cousin who suffers from the same Ailment, believe you me when I ever I see people with such Ailment they are just fine to me cos I grew up with some one like that and I know how much we put in to take care of him. It's not easy to take care of a person like that, you must be physically, EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY prepared. Not like this Oloriburuku Alaye baje Woman.
May in child too be struck with that then you can go ahead to kill them off

This was on bellanaija yesterday with 200+ comments already.

The lady is finished. People have contacted the uni where she is doing her second Masters in the UK, tweeted the Metropolitan police, and also the Medical board. Although she's deleted her linkedin and facebook account, it is too late for her.

This country is so useless that the Nigerian medical board and the police did not take the right actions despite the evidence of her crime.

That video was heartbreaking. Never seen a human being sooooo wicked. I watched the vid full length and it was unbelievable.

THAT IS NIGERIA FOR U. VERY INCOMPETENT CORRUPT AND TRIBALLY BIASED AND DESPOTIC FELLOWS AT D HELMS OF AFFAIRS. REASON FOR CONTINUED UNDER DEVELOPMENT, BACKWARDNESS AND PRIMITIVITY. SHE SHOULD REPORTED PROPERLY TO HER PRESENT SCHOOL AURTHORITY AND QUALIFYING BOARD FOR PUNITIVE DECISIONS. HER ACTS SPEAK FOR ITSELF AND IS LONG LASTING IF NOT ETERNAL. THANKS TO MODERN METHODS OF STORAGE AND ARCHIVAL MEDIA METHODS.

@OP, guess the original mail was sent to Genevieve Magazine. Anyways, I have done an online checking on the lady. It seems to me that she has access to so many foreign health sponsorship. I see that she is a YALi scholar, it appears she is doing a Master in New Castle, UK and a host of other international physiotherapist connection.

I think the best way to ensure that this doesn't recur is to rebroadcast on all social media.

I am sure she might be reading this.

I had to stop the video, honestly.

9jaflave:
I’m Bukola Ayinde, Founder of P4:13 Foundation and author of Diary of a Special Needs Mum.

Getting a diagnosis which says your child has Cerebral Palsy is a parent’s worst nightmare. I had my period of living in denial; wishing the problem would go away, like it was all a dream, but the reality stared me in the face.

My husband and I decided to face the challenge before us squarely.

We engaged different specialists; Neurologist, Paediatrician, Physiotherapist, Speech therapist, Occupational therapist, Special Needs Care Givers. At one point we were scouting for a very good physiotherapist.

A parent of a special needs child recommended a young lady to me. I mentioned her name {Bisola Anthonia Abayomi Ojo} to one of my daughter’s therapist who confirmed that the lady was very good at her job. However, she also confirmed that the lady could be arrogant. I spoke with another therapist on the field who also confirmed that the recommended Physiotherapist was good at what she does but she could be rude.

Well, at that point of my life, I didn’t mind if she was going to be rude to me or arrogant as far as she was as good as everyone had said, I was fine with that. All I wanted was to see was my child’s improvement, I could take any sh*t in between.

She came on board as my daughter’s physiotherapist. She was very professional and dedicated, but she didn’t come cheap. She didn’t come cheap at all.
My daughter attended a mainstream school that allowed her to use the sickbay as her pullout room for her physiotherapy session.

In June 2016, my daughter’s school proprietress requested that my husband and I should make out time to see her. When we eventually did a week later, she told us that the physiotherapist had manhandled our daughter and she was going to show us a CCTV recording to prove it.

At the back of my mind I felt the woman was exaggerating because therapy could be demanding at times. My child may cry, if she didn’t like the exercise or if the exercise was tasking.
However, when I watched the video, I was shocked beyond words that someone I trusted with my daughter could treat her worse than an animal. I believe that even an animal shouldn’t be treated that way.

I mean, she came highly recommended; she is a Masters degree holder. She is not an illiterate.
Apparently she didn’t remember that there was a CCTV in the room or she felt nobody would be checking the TV at that particular time.

It was heartbreaking to see my daughter treated by a health worker in such a barbaric act.
I watched my daughter as she fell down several times hitting her head on the tiles. There were times she hit her head on the edge of the wooden bed before falling to the ground.

Her Physiotherapist slapped her three times; the third time with her cell phone. She left her head hanging upside for 5 minutes. She twisted my daughter’s hands several times; at a point she sat on her hands, at another point she tied her hands behind her head. I watched as my daughter fell from her chair while her neck was stuck in between the space at the vertical back rest and the flat wood used for sitting down. I watched on as this lady typed on her phone 90% of the time only taking some time off to torture my daughter. Did I mention that she took out time to take her selfie? Up to five times.

After we watched the recording, my husband could not control his tears. My heart bled.
My daughter’s Neurologist said we cannot ascertain the level of damage to her brain because we did not bring her immediately it happened. He said an MRI would have been done to ascertain any damage.
I got her arrested.
She said she was sorry
She claimed depression and ill health
I didn’t believe her then, I don’t believe her now.

I had to make a decision, to leave my daughter in the hands of her nannies at home (which may be another source of abuse) and follow through to ensure the physiotherapist was duly punished. (Bearing in mind the justice system in Nigeria) or drop the charges lodged at the police station and allow Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board at Yaba to handle the matter.

I dropped the police charges. I decided to stay with my traumatized daughter.
I handed the Physiotherapist over to the Registrar at Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board at Yaba.

Her punishment:
• Three months withdrawal of her practicing license.
• Three months work in a general hospital under supervision without pay
• She was to undergo a psychiatric test
Like seriously? Are you kidding me?
She had been practicing for a year without renewing her license and all you could do was to withdraw her license officially for a mere three months?

She went back to the Registrar at Medical Rehabilitation Therapists to ask for permission to travel to USA to get treatment.

I called to check on the case, and I was told she had travelled for treatment
I was told not to worry as she cannot practice anywhere else in the world without a letter from the board.
Some months later, I was told by a reliable source that she was not taking any major treatments but attending a Masters programme in US.

So she got away with child abuse, assault, battery, in fact attempted murder.
This is only possible in Nigeria right?

I went back to Medical Rehabilitation Center, I was shocked to find out that the case had gone cold.
What stops her from coming back into the country and working with other children?
How many Nigerians ask for practicing license before employing a professional?

I strongly believe that the least the board should have done was to declare her unfit to work with children.
In respect to my daughter, the signs were there: She had been withdrawn for a while in fact she had stop smiling, interacting with anybody in the house or attempting to answer questions in school. I kept asking the care giver that followed her to school about the sudden change. The caregiver said she had no idea. I came up with my own theory and I brushed it aside.

How would I have known that a health worker, someone I trusted with my child could be so cruel? The Physiotherapist had been with us for over two years. I can only imagine….

Well, I pulled my daughter out of school and started her own mini school at home. I let go of my current caregivers for good reasons and got new ones. With care and love, she added weight, came out of her shell and got better. Right now she attends a school three times a week and we are making progress.

Child abuse is real…from the people you least expect. Protect your children.

She shouldn't have taken the job in the first place since she knows she will not be able to cope with such 'children'.

There is no perspective to what happened. What she did is 100% wrong and she should be PUNISHED AND JAILED.

Sorry, there are always more than one perspective in every case. The bottom line is that she did wrong job.

This the more reason people take to jungle justice. A case will be reported to the appropriate authority, rather than take action against the offender, it's either the matter die a natural death or the offender sort his way out. The police are no different from the Nigerian medical board.

Your first comment calling the kid a pain in the ass was appalling.

Please take it down. Immediately I saw the first arm twisting I could not watch the video anymore as I almost started crying and vomiting.

I cannot stand when kids are hurt, killed, tortured or manhandled. Children are innocent and require love to become great.

Please mind what you say. She was paid and knew what she was going to do before accepting and besides, she is a WOMAN and a mother or POTENTIAL MOTHER for crying out loud. This therapist will KILL her maid!

Please don't post such a thing again!

U just spoke my mind...The thought alone still make me cry...Children are Innocent for Gods sake..She did not deserve this treatment at all..It wasn't her fault to come to the world this way...May God continue to heal the little angel
Re: My Daughter With Cerebral Palsy Was Battered By The Therapist I Trusted by streetzdreamz(m): 2:34pm On Jun 01, 2017
how can one expect a kid with this ailment to sit unaided on an open chair without falling off?? this lady ain't just inhuman,she is foolish, the kid fell off countless times due to her foolishness, repeating same acts of sitting her back on the chair, got frustrated cuz of that and ended up sitting on her two hands,pulling em backwards and pinning em down with her laps,how barbaric can the human race get? am 100% certain a man wouldn't do all this to a kid with this ailment,it can only come from a woman who knows or have heard about the pains of motherhood,I hope the lil kid gets her justice, but her parents were too cool about the whole case.............often wondered why parents choose to cater for kids with disabilities,knowing fully well nothing they do can make this kids live a normal life,I"d be damned if I let my kid suffer a minutes pain after confirming nothing can make the situation completely perfect.

What are you talking about? The woman was hard on the kid. But if you look at it again you will see that she was possibly having a hard time curtailing the kid.

Kids with his medical condition are hard to handle.

The only person I blame is the mother for dropping criminal charges against the lady. This is one of those times you need to mobilize the Nigerian Police in order to get maximum punishment against an offender.

She noticed she was rude to her, yet still felt she could work with her child? Wasn't that a red flag? How can she do her job working with a special needs child when she's already rude to regular people? Was her pay going to change that? Why do some people think money will make people love them?




Serious red flag my guy; for a job that requires care, understanding patience, etc one can never handle that job if the person is arrogant; and she came highly recommended. I could do a lot better as anovice than the bitch by simply showing that child some love.

And the bastard has the guts to charge high fees. There is NOTHING God cant do; i pray that He will intervene and in future that child will be a source of joy to her parents. I couldnt even bear to watch more than a couple of minutes.

May your children turn out to have celeberal palsy,so that their therapist will treat them like shit and you will not blame them.

Don't swear for his kids.

On the plus side, Nigerians have been bombarding the demon's university with letters and calls, most directed at her Dean. Also the YALI guys have been informed. There's a petition online gaining signatures and the US Department of Homeland security has been notified.

From what I watched there, that kid is a pain in the ass. Take it or leave it.

I don't blame the lady. The kid was obviously frustrating her life.

The woman was wrong. But if you look at it again, the kids condition is hard to bear.

She shouldn't have taken the job because it requires a lot of patience.

God bless you. For saying the truth, I have one kid with a similar condition at home. Absolute pain in the as.s.

I couldn't last 5 mins with her. So I dont even roll with her, I just greet her mom and move.

If they come to our house I make sure my stuff doesn't get to her because there is limit to what I can do get it back without looking wicked.
