A gut-wrenching video that went viral on social media Saturday has left many dumb-founded and leaving several questioning how callous and evil some househelps or nannies can be to innocent children they are left to cater for in the absence of their parents. The house keeper was caught on camera abusing the toddler in the East African country of Uganda after the parents had left for work. It takes one of strong courage to see out the full length of the video; and what readily comes to mind after the last seconds have played out is how inhumane can a nanny be to the little pretty girl named Aneela. A bit of digging by Peacefmonline.com indicates the name of the househelp/nanny is Jolly Tumuhiirwe. She is 22. The incident occurred on Saturday November 15th 2014. She (nanny) is first captured on CCTV in the house forcing more food into Aneela's mouth - almost choking the girl - and when the poor girl spits some of the meal out, she smacks her on the mouth with such ferocity that one can actually hear the sound echoing round the room. Then moments after that, the innocent child threw up. Apparently the two-year girl was sick at the time and exhibited difficulty in coping with the rough and speedy rate at which Tumuhiirwe was feeding her. The furious nanny snaps, flinging little Aneela face down from the settee onto the ground, as if the child was a piece of some unwanted thrash the cat dragged home. She is seen picking up a rechargeable torchlight and subjecting the kid to some severe beatings on the butt. As if that was not cruel enough, the househelp kicks out at the toddler as if she is an object on a field of play and finally stomps on the kid's back and head repeatedly. Tumuhiirwe then picked the baby by one hand and vanished in the next room. According to the toddler's father, Erick Kamanzi, a loaded staff at a reputable NGO in Kampala, the hidden CCTV "has always been there". �But there was a way this house help had won my trust. I come home the kids are fed and sleeping sometimes and the house is clean...And she was kind of quiet and seemed very innocent. It was when i had found bruises on the child that when i ask about it, she would innocently say maybe the child fell down. Then i noticed she would never be happy and annoyed. She would be like that all the time. I suspected something wasn�t right. So i recorded...And that was what we saw," he said. When Kamanzi returned home from work and saw new set of bruises on the daughter, he did not ask what happened but hastily went to review the cameras and what he saw is what we have relayed above and uploaded herein at the tail end of the story. Reports indicate that when the kid's father viewed the footage, he got so furious he pummeled the nanny (resulting in her being confined to a wheelchair currently). She is reportedly using hearing aids too. But that was before she made a wild dash with the help of some neighbours to the police and reported that her master had assaulted. Seeing the injuries on the nanny, the Kiwatule police swung into action, raided Kamanzi's home and arrested him. Aneela�s father promptly confessed to the charge before he was dragged to cells. After cooling down, Kamanzi asked the Cops to look at what made him clobber the maid. A mere look at the video changed the cops stance and released Kamanzi. She was subsequently arrested. Police chief spokesman CP Fred Enanga confirmed that Tumuhiirwe's case had been taken over by the events. Reading the file number as CRB 1346/14 of Kiira Road, Enanga said Tumuhiirwe was yesterday (Friday) charged under Anti-torture Act at Nakawa Court. Reports received indicate the police, after having viewed the footage, intend upping her charge from child battery to attempted murder. In a related development, UNCONFIRMED reports have it that little Aneela has died after the extreme beatings and torturing by her caretaker. A blogger in Uganda, Xclusive-ent256 reported that, �The innocent girl who was brutally tortured by a maid has died�. The blogger further said that "If wild animals like lions, leopards, elephants and snakes cannot harm a baby, why a normal person would brutally torture an innocent kid like yesterday. The maid has been remanded to Luzira by Nakawa court. Her case will be heard on 18th December. RIP Aneela. However, Peacefmonline.com can authoritatively confirm that the child is alive and responding to treatment. This revelation was made by the Aneela's parents a couple of hours ago to the media.
