In a touching reunion, Analine Wandiema and her son were captured smiling brightly. She carried and hugged him warmly as they spent joyful moments together.
The innocent child, seemingly unaware of the recent events, was seen happily playing inside his great-aunt’s house.
Kenyans online expressed relief and joy at the reunion, with many requesting her phone number to send financial support to help her rebuild her life.
“I want to say thank you so much to everyone who helped me get my son back. We still have a court process ahead, but at least now my son is safe,” she said.
She also appealed to anyone in a position to offer her employment to reach out, adding that she is ready to work and provide a better life for her child.
Where was Warden’s mother?
While many condemned the man for the horrific abuse, some questioned the whereabouts of the boy’s mother, Analine.
In a Facebook Live session, Analine explained that she had left her son in the care of his father after he allegedly physically assaulted her and poured hot water on her. She claimed that he has a history of abuse and had beaten her multiple times in the past.
She alleged he never allowed her to leave with the child and repeatedly threatened her with harm if she tried.
After the most recent attack, she fled to Nairobi in search of work and has since been working as a househelp.
According to Analine, the man sent her the distressing video of him assaulting their son in a cruel attempt to lure her back.
The man was arrested and is currently in police custody.
