A 32-year-old man in Lilongwe who threw his two kids into a deep well with the intention to kill them has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. 

In Neno district, 18 children have reported cases of being abused to the social welfare office thanks to Save the Children which has drilled the children on case reporting mechanisms.

As cases of child abuse continue to take center stage in many circles of discussion in the country, it has been noted that some cases are going unnoticed due to lack of knowledge in reporting them.

Mulanje Police Officer-In-Charge, Senior Assistant Commissioner Kelvin Mulezo, says mobility has been a challenge to investigate and make follow ups on cases on abuses on children.
