A disturbing video of two primary school children, a boy and a girl, making their way to school at 1 am has emerged online.
Although details about the situation remain scanty at the moment, from the video, the minors were fully dressed in their school uniforms with bags in the wee hour.
They were alone, without the company of their parents or guardians.
The source, who recorded the video, was shocked to meet the minors at the hour and he confronted them with questions.
“Nani amewaambia muende shule saa saba usiku?” he asked and they said their mother.
He further expressed worry if anything happens to them.
Reacting to the video, a section of netizens were left in shock as they condemned the parent for being irresponsible.
“It’s better they go to a children home than staying there with such a mother…. We should contribute but they stay in a children home,” one wrote.
“This is purely child abuse,” added another as another comment read, “Irresponsible parenting. How would you let out your kids at that time?
Others however thought it might just have been a matter of confusion.
“Why are people saying this is madness????some parents can’t even afford a phone or any gadgets kuonyesha saa. Yes I know Gen z na born in silver plate you can’t believe this. Maybe she didn’t do it deliberately. I was there and I understand this situation,” an social media user noted.
Another said, “Aliset alarm vibaya it happens sometimes kuna siku nili amka 2 nikavaa nikatoka kufika stage akuna watu na akuna magari then watch man alikua apo akinishow unaenda wapi saa nane 😂 so maybe aliset clock vibaya akawaamsha mapema than usual.”
