🗞Read more about when Kenyan hospital employee Fred Leparan, who was caught selling a baby on the black market by #BBCAfricaEye, was sentenced to 25 years in jail. bbc.in/3ZJf4p3 (4 Oct 2023)
My mother was also offered money for me when I was born in 1981 in Kenya. The nurses offered her the money because she wasn’t married and my father was white. She didn’t take the offer and fled the hospital with me , she wasn’t even washed and ran out covered in blood. But don’t be fooled, when we went to live in The Netherlands and I was about 5. My mother and me walked in Amsterdam city a group of wealthy Arabs in traditional clothing ( looking like sultans) called my mother and asked her if they could buy me.. she pulled me close and said NO. All they saw was a Chubby looking long haired curly mixed girl.. I believe they would traffic me in the Arab countries to be a house slave or worse😢 I’m glad my mother protected me. My grandmother when working the field would often carry me in her kanga. If people approached she would turn it from her back to her belly so she could fully cover me. She wouldn’t let people see me at all she believed they were all jealous and hade bad intentions or evil eyes. My name is also Mueni I’m proud of my Kamba name and Kenyan blood. But this is all a real thing that is really a old problem when I can talk about 1981 😮it was happening also
@@julee4580 thank you 🙏 ☺️I really hope all these children can be found and rescued and that it will never happen again. But where poverty is ik afraid evil will often appear when no one is looking. It’s good they did this documentary and shine a light on the situation that apparently is real old😔
Lawwd!!! Exactly what I have always been concerned most about this whole documentary....at that time my child fitted the age bracket they steal I was horrified....😢 May God protect that chubby baby girl❤
Stealing a child is a crime that should never be justified, regardless of the circumstances. It is a result of a twisted conscience and a greedy heart, and it causes immense suffering to the child's family, especially their mother.
That's why I'm not surprised that the government, who insisted "no efforts were spared" did absolutely nothing. It doesn't affect them, especially since it's mostly run by men, so why would they even care. It's infuriating.
Thanks Njeri for doing this follow-up. I always wondered whatever happened to that little chubby baby that was stolen. This is a scourge that needs to be erased. Little children should be free, and parents need to know that their kids are safe when they play outside. Hope those missing kids are found. Continue the fantastic work you're doing. And thanks BBC Africa Eye. Would also like to see a follow-up on Forced to Beg also.
And who im referring to is the reporter and the individuals who were involved in the filming of the series. You are as corrupt as the officials you claim them to be, cuz who would in the first place go to an entity like your own neighbourhood police when you bloody know they’re corrupted.
Njeri Mwangi you are by far my favourite journalist in Africa and the world... The way you articulate your investigation and being able to express your emotions and put yourself in these women's shoes makes you one of the best... For you journalism is not a career, but a calling which it's innate. Continue the great work and may you inspire our continent's citizens to appreciate and respect journalism. You already won my heart.... Sending love all the way from SA 🇿🇦.... May God protects Kenya and it's citizens from these heartless vultures (baby stealers)... May God dry all these women's tears together with their families and friends by reuniting them with their children. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
There should be an independent body in Kenya that deals with the actual search of missing children . Police officers cannot do the search 100% . There are so many gaps that need to be filled in child protection.
Corruption coupled with desperation is just awful. Thankful for this follow up documentary, hoping for justice to be served thoroughly and for this problem to come to an end.
Wow 😮 So, to you, the whole of the African continent is a country? A case in a particular country (Kenya) has made the whole of Africa wild??? Are you saying a nurse can open and operate a clinic in South Africa or Botswana or Morocco? Why rate 54 countries as just one country?
I think so too, I mean look at her. She must have been drugged out of her mind half of the time, she couldn't have done this by herself. I knew the only place they were going to find her was the cemetery but the ones behind the abductions are still out there and probably moved on to a different region.
I guinenly think the reports questions helped scare her …. She didn’t seem serious enuf too me ..&& as a New Yorker watching that transaction I was saying to myself , if Anita take the bait then she is a DUMB CRIMINAL .. because the reporter questions and demeanor was tooo soft and off . I think they should a made someone else lose as the buyer . And even tho I said all that , I still appreciate the reporter’s documentary
As a parent with a daughter this break my heart immensely. No one should go through this. Personally I can't bear it, I feel very sorry for the families of these stolen children
For a serious case to drag on for 3 years with overwhelming evidence tells us there is a huge problem with our systems. It is such a shame that as a nation we have accepted mediocrity even in the highest levels of government that its now normal. My heart goes out to these women who cry everyday for their children. But remember za mwizi ni arobaini. They many never get caught but God in heaven hears the cries of these women
Greedy and stupid people mbona Uimbe mtoto wa wenyewe. Serikali inasitahili kufanya kitu na Police nae wawache kuangaisha wanainchi na kuwaitisha Hongo.
not so many are practicing real journalism right now. just know that am sooo so proud of your work. it wont heal some pain but it brings hope. that's enough for a start
@@BBCAfricahave you seen there is a comment on here from someone saying they have seen the baby that Anita had with her, please please look into that comment
Any woman or couple buying stolen children should surrender to the law. Children and adults need to do DNA testing with their parents to confirm their identity. This will help to reveal the culprits. These government administrators sit in the offices embezzling funds and not deliver to the people they serve.
this lady is really doing an amazing job ..And you too be safe out there when you doing this i hope some day such cases will decrease . sad to know kids are not safe out here.
Thank you for this follow up. I really wish the baby Anita abducted was rescued sooner. I understand BBC wanted to catch everything on camera for the sake of the documentary but given Anita’s history, the child’s well-being should have been prioritised and should have never allowed Anita to spend a single second with that child, considering it was an abduction. Law enforcement should have been called there and then because that baby would have been saved above all else. Also, Fred was arrested for child trafficking and while handcuffed, he still had the privilege of using his phone? It would have been relatively easy for him to communicate with other child traffickers or pass them information if he so wished to do so.
Exactly. They had the baby right in front of their eyes. They could have just snatched the little girl and ran off or threatening her, instead of making a deal for the next day…
The role played by journalists cannot be downplayed or taken for granted. The problem now is the reach. The people directly affected by this are the vulnerable poor. They would watch this and take caution when say going to public hospitals. But where will these people readily access BBC Eye?
Thank you BBC Africa for playing your role in exposing the corrupt governments of Africa. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "The fish starts rotting from the head", I see why our nations have failed to even fight the basics of human rights let alone to be able to protect the lives and safety of our children. I would be surprised if the Kenyan government had stepped up its interest in this matter. Kenya is just a case study representing what is going on around the world.
Thanks BBC for doing good job by news reports and this is not enough until the government of Kenya take action on child rober. Thanks again for doing great work for the public of Africa, this work of humanity will be remembered forever. ❤
Mary auma is in langata women's prison Remand going by an Alias Lucy.She used to run the canteen ..You will find her there.She has been there for a while
@@KenyanScorpio You see,in Africa,if an ordinary person is involved in criminal activities,the justice system would so efficient in dealing with the situation but if someone at the top is involved the system would stutter in apprehending the culprit
Why didn't the journalist grabbed the baby there n then instead of negotiating for next day. You can't trust drug addicts to keep their word. It's negligent on your part. You should have taken action
Drug addicts need quick money so it was strange she wanted to wait until the next day. I think someone warned her, maybe police officers were involved.
Let's be honest, the main reason why these babies go missing without consequences is poverty. The poor in Kenya are not accorded the same level of legal protection as the middle and upper classes. If a child is stolen from an upmarket neighborhood in Nairobi, like Runda or Karen for instance, you can be assured that all elite units of Kenya's law enforcement system will be mobilized to find them. Today, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Kenya's foremost law enforcement agency, is equipped with way more advanced capabilities than a decade ago; this includes sophisticated crime research & intelligence capabilities. If the DCI wants to track and arrest anyone within the territory of the Republic of Kenya, they can do it. So the issue of a trafficking suspect disappearing into thin air is impossible. These babies are taken simply because they are deemed not worthy enough of expending state resources to protect them. Add corruption to the mix, especially within the National Police Service, and you have a trafficker's paradise!
BBC, great reporting. While there is a small win with a conviction, the situation is all around sad. The police and government workers need to sit up and make Africa not such a hell to live in 😢
I am so thankful to BBC Africa for doing this very, very important documentary. This has nothing to do with socioeconomic issues. This is purely a demand-supply issue that has been going on in Somalia since the beginning of the Somali Civil War. The Western world's millionaires have been using our African children as spare parts.
Omg Njeri Mwangi God bless you for this. After watching and rewatching the first episode i was so scared that these people especially the mama lucy team would go scott-free.. Thank you for the follow-up. You did well. Atleast we got that sorted step by step.
Weuh I can't imagine what would become of me if I was a victim.... It's terrible to even think about your own blood missing without a trace... Thanks for making this video available, it's like reminder to keep your antenna up around your kids
One of the flaws of broadcasting is lack of follow up. Many are just interested in putting out an intriguing and popular story that gains global attention forgetting that this stories are real people facing real situations I commend @BBC African Eye for following up on this story, it’s heartbreaking but thank you for helping us understand that this crime is still real and still going on
Uwee! I'm so sorry for these women. Erica Mukhisa Kimani talked about babies and kids being used for child sacrifices....I really thought she was exaggerating. Good journalism is happening here.
I watched the First video a week or 2 ago n I Still want JUSTICE FOR THESE CHILDREN!!! I am still crying by watching this one as well please help these mothers this can happen to anyone poor or not. We need a better government everywhere because this is not okay. I want Justice for real. I feel for these mothers. It’s hurts me so bad cuz I know if it was me I would’ve been right I’ll probably kill myself if my child was taken from me. My child blessed my life and give me happiness and a purpose. I could imagine the same for these mothers. Protect these children!!! God bless Missing Child Kenya.
Corrupt people in power are complicit. Why not rope in other better equipped agencies like Interpol, FBI etc. It happens to poor families no one cares.
Trust me, Kenya's DCI is sufficiently equipped to handle this issue without the involvement of any external party. The problem, as you rightly point out, is corruption and the shameless exploitation of the poor.
I think it high time that Mama Lucy kibaki facility is closed down for a while and proper reforms are done there. It cannot be that it's always on the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
I think they're still there, I passed by a street in town on a Sunday evening and some random woman approached me, holding a child and asked me "madam nikuuzie haka? Hata hakaliagi na nikona kengine pia kadogo ukitaka." I felt it was off and told her "unaniuzia aje mtoto?" She then started raising her voice ati natàka kumwibia mtoto. Wah
This is much bigger than Kenya, they are enticing the less fortunate with cents to abduct babies. Breaking hearts and bruising souls forever. Thanks for reporting!!!
Rosemary needs help looking for Chelsea and I’m sure she is not the only one living this nightmare 😢 Father God please protect these precious babies in the name of Jesus I pray ❤
It very sad to see this happen. But I think they should have taken their time to investigate everyone including the police. I believe the police and all security apparatus might be involved in this horrible crime. Because I don't see why they haven't solved any case concerning these missing children.
Oh another very educative, informative documentary packed full with a whole lot more! Cheers BBC and a Very Happy Halloween to all of your Staff both within and without!

It's sad to see it all. When someone is breastfeeding because they are hungry, you all stand there with gasoline and tires to take the person's life away, but when a person stands before you with a stolen baby that they snatched from its mother a few hours earlier, the first thing you think to do is to film? I am ashamed to call myself Kenyan.

I have always wondered what happened to the last chubby baby i wish the rescue was done sooner .May God protect that angel...
That baby has disturbed me since the day I watched the story.
Why did the journalists not snatch the child and immediately go to police 💔😭
It's quite simple, the journalist is not smart enough, if she was the good looking chubby little angel's life could have been saved
Lawwd!!! Exactly what I have always been concerned most about this whole documentary....at that time my child fitted the age bracket they steal I was horrified....😢
May God protect that chubby baby girl❤
I read the comments of that video before watching, I decided not to watch. Was that baby ever rescued?
Stealing a child is a crime that should never be justified, regardless of the circumstances. It is a result of a twisted conscience and a greedy heart, and it causes immense suffering to the child's family, especially their mother.
Unfortunately, in Africa, you just have to be wealthy to avoid such problems. My heart breaks for these families.
thats everywhere tbh
It's EVERYWHERE

Worse in Africa,

There should be an independent body in Kenya that deals with the actual search of missing children . Police officers cannot do the search 100% . There are so many gaps that need to be filled in child protection.
And it will work for a year or two and no longer be independent. Some things are nurtured by our torn cultural fabric
what makes you think that it wpuld be good for that to not be part of the police?
Police are corrupt

Saw her in which town? I hope you have informed the police
@BBC news Africa have you seen this information please
Is she well?
Are you sure? She must be 2 or 3 years old by now. Please tell the police
I can only imagine the trauma this women have to go through all because of some greedy and selfish people 😢😢😢

Trust me, Kenya's DCI is sufficiently equipped to handle this issue without the involvement of any external party. The problem, as you rightly point out, is corruption and the shameless exploitation of the poor.
I think it high time that Mama Lucy kibaki facility is closed down for a while and proper reforms are done there. It cannot be that it's always on the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
if it was something about football or oil the government would sink millions into it.
Insane 😢
Extremely sad!
I think they're still there, I passed by a street in town on a Sunday evening and some random woman approached me, holding a child and asked me "madam nikuuzie haka? Hata hakaliagi na nikona kengine pia kadogo ukitaka." I felt it was off and told her "unaniuzia aje mtoto?" She then started raising her voice ati natàka kumwibia mtoto. Wah
Ngai😢😢😢😢
This is much bigger than Kenya, they are enticing the less fortunate with cents to abduct babies. Breaking hearts and bruising souls forever. Thanks for reporting!!!
Rosemary needs help looking for Chelsea and I’m sure she is not the only one living this nightmare 😢 Father God please protect these precious babies in the name of Jesus I pray ❤
I was thinking maby its the father if they are not Living togheter
@@jihadiijoe I hope so and I hope she is safe breaks my heart to think someone just takes your child never to be seen again. 🫤
@@Queenofdacastle yeah its pretty sad i cant imagen
Some policemen are very much involved in this evil business
God keep the world am its citizen safe
The people of Africa are so battered. May God bless the African people.
What do the buyers/stealers do with the babies?
It very sad to see this happen. But I think they should have taken their time to investigate everyone including the police. I believe the police and all security apparatus might be involved in this horrible crime. Because I don't see why they haven't solved any case concerning these missing children.
Sad 😢where are the fathers of this children

Government should do something for these women on the street
People are greedy and they want money by all means. They are stealing kids for rituals. Ohh God please protect our kids. This is too much😢😢
That's why I love Njeri Kangethe
It's sad to see it all.
When someone is breastfeeding because they are hungry, you all stand there with gasoline and tires to take the person's life away, but when a person stands before you with a stolen baby that they snatched from its mother a few hours earlier, the first thing you think to do is to film? I am ashamed to call myself Kenyan.
OMG!!!💔
I always remember that beautiful baby. I wish you could have grabbed that little angel😢
Come on Kenya. The Diaspora is looking at you with concern and disgust! 😢😡
I feel the same from Texas …😢 sad and heartbreaking!!
