Photos: Young girl allegedly battered by her father's lover in Benin

People from this little girl's school just reached out to me. They say the girl's father's lover has been allegedly battering her. Her name is Blessing Osayande and she's a Pry 2 pupil of South Royal School in Benin. The girl's school authority said they have called the father and talked to him several times after seeing injuries on her body but apparently the abuse has not stopped.

Today, the girl came to school with a broken head and said her father's lover slammed her head against a table. The welfare office in Benin has since taken up the case but they still wanted the public to be aware. They didn't give the lover's name or photo. That I would have loved to share...
