According to reports, the teenager was subjected to severe maltreatment while in the woman’s care. The matter came to public attention after concerned individuals alerted authorities, leading to swift intervention by law enforcement.
The victim has since been taken to a safe location, while investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the abuse. Human rights advocates have condemned the incident, describing it as a grave violation of child protection laws and basic human dignity.
Authorities reiterated that abuse of any kind, especially against minors, will not be tolerated and assured the public that justice will be pursued in line with the law.
