Man mercilessly flogs 5-year-old son with his charger cord to punish his wife [Video]

• He explained that he kept telling the child’s mother to carry him but she refused, so, in anger, he flogged the boy with the cord

A father flogged his 5-year-old son to punish the boy’s mother.

The boy was rescued by neighbours and the case was reported to concerned authorities before Dr Yolanda George-David, a human rights advocate, took up the case.

While being questioned, the boy said his father flogged him with a wire.

The father admitted that he flogged his son with his charger cord and said he did so because he was angry.

He explained that he kept telling the child’s mother to carry him but she refused, so, in anger, he flogged the boy with the cord.

The beating left welts on the boy’s back.

People are taking out their frustrations from the current hardship in the country on innocent kids who have nothing to do with it. Sad!
