Newborn Baby Rescued Alive After Mother Dumped Him in Snake-Infested Septic Tank
Police in Kilifi County are pursuing a woman who allegedly dumped her newborn baby in a snake-infested septic tank.
The infant was rescued from the 15 feet underground tank after a passerby heard his cries and alerted residents of Mkaomoto area in Malindi sub-county.
When a group of residents arrived, the baby was surrounded by two snakes that did not harm him, The Star reported. A ladder was used to retrieve the baby from the cesspit.
A video shared on social media showed one of the rescuers wrapping the naked infant in a piece of clothing before handing him to a group of women waiting outside the tank. It is suspected the mother dumped him soon after giving birth.
The newborn was taken to Malindi sub-county hospital where doctors found he is healthy.
Held Esliy, a gender-based violence activist from Malindi condemned the act and called on police to bring the suspect to book.
“Police are looking for the mother of the child. As a mother I condemn the act, a child is an angel how does one do such an inhuman act to an innocent soul?” she said.

This is evil
Haya ndiyo matunda ya kufuata mila mbovu za kigeni zisizofaa baada ya kutupilia mbali mila zetu bora za kiasili ambazo mambo ya ajabu kama haya hayakutokea hata kidogo.
This is the outcome of abandoning our rich cultural traditions where such challenging and inhuman practices did not take place. Unfortunately, we adopted all decadent and inhuman cultural traditions from the illegal and uninvited aliens from the European nations and their diaspora.
How can I adopt this ANGEL.?
Napenda Askari anavyo mshika huyo mtoto. Huyo aliye mzaa mtoto anaroho ngumu na ya kikatili .
Kama hakujifungua bila kujua nilingine. Sifikiri wakoloni wali mshauri afanye hilo tendo lakumtupa mtoto shimoni .yeye mwenyewe kaamua kwa sababu zake za kibinafsi. Labda aliogopa wazazi wajue amezaa. Ingekuwa vyema kama kungekuwa na tasisisi ya usalamisaji wa watoto wasio takikana bila kulizwa maswali.
give me the contacts and I will adopt the kid
