A video of a nanny abusing a toddler in Uganda has gone viral and sparked discussions about the safety of home unregulated childcare in the country.

The video shows a woman, reported to be the child’s nanny, force feeding a young girl, and then beating her and stamping on her when she does not comply.

Eric Kamanzi, the girl’s father, said that he installed a secret camera in the living room of his house after he noticed bruises on his daughter. After seeing the footage of the abuse, he immediately reported the incident to police on 13 November.

In a statement, the police said that they have arrested the woman on charges of attempted murder and advised parents to do background checks on any maids or nannies they employ.
