CCTV footage captured a heartbreaking scene between a mother and her daughter at their home late at night.
When did that event happen?
The footage showed when the mother became hostile towards her young and helpless daughter around 3pm on Thursday, February 26.
The clip, which went viral, sparked outrage on social media about the mother’s treatment of her helpless daughter.
“As seen in the CCTV images circulating online, a terrible incident happened here in Naivasha where a mother was caught physically assaulting her child,” part of the statement read.
The mother was seen attacking the little girl, pushing her hard as the child struggled to keep her balance and defend herself.
The Naivasha SGBV Network Team arrested the mother
The mother appeared angry as she slapped the girl for a few seconds before walking away, warning her daughter.
Community builder and youth advocate Simon Wakaba, who shared the video, later shared positive news about the case, noting that the mother had been arrested.
“We want to confirm that the matter has already been reported and is currently being handled by the Naivasha Gender Desk. We commend the Naivasha SGBV Group Network Team for their quick and coordinated response. Their quick action shows the importance of strong community systems in protecting our children.
The relevant officials are taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of the child and prevent such incidents from happening again. This should be a great reminder to all parents and guardians that violence is not discipline. There are better, safer, and more constructive ways to guide and correct our children,” he said.
Netizens criticized Naivasha’s mother
The video angered several netizens who flocked to the comment section to share their views, while others recounted their childhood experiences.

“Now, a person should not discipline his child…you know that these creatures grow up annoying, there are only cute when they are newborns, let them grow. When someone does something to you, you fail, when will he grow up and leave you.”
