Authorities have apprehended a man and are currently investigating him after an alarming video circulated on social media, depicting him slapping and hitting his two young children. The footage, which drew widespread attention, shows the man attempting to teach the children how to count, during which one child expresses difficulty with counting. In response, he threatens them with a belt and raises his voice, escalating the situation.

A witness who captured the incident on video can be heard laughing, which has raised further concern regarding the environment in which the children were being taught.

Police spokesman Wame Boutolu confirmed that the man is undergoing questioning at the Nakasi Police Station as part of the investigation.

This incident highlights the critical need for awareness regarding disciplined child-rearing practices and the importance of maintaining a nurturing environment. Authorities are stepping in to ensure the safety of the children involved, which is a positive step towards addressing and preventing such behaviors in the future.

As we monitor this situation, it’s essential to foster discussions about positive parenting techniques and the significance of emotional support in children’s development. The hope is that such cases lead to greater community involvement in child welfare and a commitment to promoting healthier methods of discipline.
