trueNine-month-old Blasio Seguya was admitted to Family Hope and Medical Centre in Bwaise in critical condition recently. After his treatment, his mother, Christine Arinaitwe, asked for the bill.
When she was told it was sh59,000, the 29-year-old handed sh10,000 to a health worker and said she was going to get more money.
That was the last time she was seen. She did not leave behind any contact.
When the health workers failed to find her, they admitted Seguya.
Two days later, the health facility handed over Seguya to the Police in Kawempe.
Amahoro Children’s Home, located in Matugga, was asked to take on the child. They took him to St. Catherine Clinic in Kampala.
The doctor who admitted Seguya said he had severe malaria and was severely dehydrated.
Couple abandons children
A couple in Kakajo zone near Nateete, a Kampala suburb, had a misunderstanding, which resulted in both of them abandoning their home.
Neighbours said the first to leave was Musinguzi’s wife. Minutes later, Musinguzi, a hawker, also left the house.
Wails from the couple’s seven-month-old baby and his one-and –a-half-year-old sibling attracted neighbours, who alerted the local authorities.
The children were taken to Old Kampala Police station and later to Sanyu Babies Home in Mengo, as the Police look for their parents.

Father abandons three-year-old at school
A father abandoned his three-year-old boy at St. Martin Primary School in Mulago.
Sources at the school said an unidentified man approached the P.6 classroom, where he knocked on the door and asked to talk to a pupil called Gerald.
He took Gerald aside and asked him to keep an eye on the boy called Allan. The man told Gerald that he was he rushing to run some errands and would return shortly.
Although Gerald did not know him, he agreed. However, the man did not return and Allan, who was left with a kaveera of dirty clothes, was handed over to Kawempe Police Station.
It is difficult to help Allan because he has scanty information about his parents. To assist him, call 0772630267.
