In a chilling turn of events, the commencement of the second term of the academic calendar has brought forth not only the anticipation of learning but also the burden of school fees for many parents. However, one father in Namayingo District has shocked the community by resorting to a horrifying act when confronted with his daughter’s plea for financial support.
Henry Sida, a 43-year-old resident of Dohwe Village in Buhemba Subcounty, now finds himself behind bars after allegedly burning his own daughter’s fingers in a fit of rage over her school fees request.
The incident unfolded when Sida’s daughter, known only as Nabwire, mustered the courage to ask for the necessary funds to continue her education into the second term.
This distressing incident sheds light on a deeper issue. It appears that Sida had abandoned his parental responsibilities following his separation from the children’s mother.
The repercussions of this abandonment manifested in a shocking act of violence against his own flesh and blood.
Namayingo Deputy Resident District Commissioner, Solomon Baleke, confirmed Sida’s apprehension and subsequent detention. The gravity of the situation came to the authorities’ attention when the local LCI chairperson, Charles Makhulo, reported the incident, prompting swift action.
The girl’s father will face consequences of his actions
Baleke revealed that not only was Sida captured by the security team, but the victim, his daughter, was immediately taken to Buyinja Health Centre IV for urgent medical attention.
The young girl’s admission to the health center signifies the severity of her injuries and the trauma she endured at the hands of her own father.
As the wheels of justice begin to turn, investigations are now underway, with a promise that this father will face the consequences of his actions in a court of law. The authorities are determined to ensure that such a heinous act does not go unpunished.
This heart-wrenching incident serves as a stark reminder of the immense pressure parents face when it comes to providing for their children’s education.
It highlights the urgent need for support systems and resources to help families navigate the financial burden of school fees without resorting to violence or harm.
Let us unite in condemning such acts and extend compassion and assistance to those who find themselves overwhelmed by the weight of educational expenses.
Together, we can foster a society that prioritizes the well-being and growth of our children, ensuring that no child is subjected to such a painful ordeal.
