The whole of Africa went mad when graphic footage of a maid brutalizing an 18-month-old baby hit the net. The maid, Jolly Tumuhirwe, 22, hit 18-month-old girl, when she resisted feeding and then throwing her to the floor after she vomitted, beating her with a torch, before stepping on her and kicking her. The child's father Eric Kamanzi said he installed the camera after he noticed bruises on his daughter and that she was limping. After capturing the violence on film, the police say he reported the incident to the police on 13 November.
