A young boy simply identified as Micheal has been was rescued after being abandoned by his father who accused him of being a witch and responsible for the hardship in the family.
According to reports, the father tried to kill the boy on two occasions by stabbing a machete on his head.
It was gathered that the father’s attempt to kill him failed so instead he took Michael far away from home in the middle of the night so he wouldn’t be able to trace home again.
Since then Michael has been on the road all alone and he even got knocked down by a passing car.
Danish aid-worker, Anja Ringgren Loven, shared the story online. She wrote;
