Nanny filmed beating and kicking 18-month-old baby pleads guilty,to be sentenced tommorrow!!!


A nanny who was secretly filmed subjecting a 18-month-old child to a horrific beating has pleaded guilty to child abuse.A video of Jolly Tumuhirwe, 22, beating, kicking and standing on the toddler after she was sick caused outrage when it was posted online in Uganda and also went viral in kenya.She was charged in court with the torture of the child.
Eric Kamanzi, had installed the camera at his home, in Nakawa, after growing concerned for his daughter's safety.The 22-year-old nanny was filmed in trying to feed the child - then severely hitting her twice after she coughs out food.Later, the pair are watching TV on the sofa when the young victim vomits over the floor and furniture - and is immediately thrown to the ground.While the baby screams, Tumuhiirwe appears to hit her with a household item.She then stands on the child's back before kicking her so hard she flies across the floor.The tot groans in pain as she is viciously stamped on four times. Her cries are then ear-splitting as she is dragged by one arm, off to another room.“We took her to the hospital for medical checkup and she is ok," her mother told the Daily Monitor at the time of the attack.Mr Kamanzi reported the incident to police on November 13.Tumuhirwe, who was not represented by a lawyer in court, could now face 15 years in prison or a fine of about £260 - or both.
