Child Abuse: Mistress brutally beats up 10-yr-old houseboy over missing N500

There has been anger and consternation after a concerned Nigerian put up the story of how a mistress in Ilorin, Kwara State, allegedly brutally beat up her 10-year-old houseboy over a missing N500.

A concerned resident put up the report on a social media platform, narrating how the woman who is said to be fond of beating up the poor boy, took her excesses to the extreme by leaving the poor boy with a swollen eye after she discovered that the money was missing from what he was supposed to delivered from his hawking rounds.

The woman reportedly beat the boy blue and black and dared any neighbour to come to his rescue.

Is this not a clear case of child abuse?
