Some listeners of Joy FM's award-winning Super Morning Show have pledged support to the three-year-old boy who was abused by his biological father in Kumasi.
After a report by Adom FM, the case of the brutalised boy has received massive public attention with many condemning his harrowing ordeal.
His father, Ebenezer Nana Bonsu, has disfigured the back of his son for bedwetting in what police describe as “senseless and unwarranted” punishment.
According to the father, he beat up the young boy to discipline him for being stubborn.
The abuse has left the little boy in a critical condition at the Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi, police sources have confirmed.
Host of Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Kojo Yankson opened the phone lines to listeners to share their reaction on the case.
One of such callers was Managing Director of MegDan Limited, Daniel Amasah Kotey, who promised to help the family with packs of diapers to help manage his condition of bedwetting."
"A baby of that age should be expected to wet the bed and that shouldn't be anything that will call for a horrendous act by a father.
"There is a solution for such babies. We are into baby diapers and we know that babies of such age have issues of bedwetting."
"What I have decided to do is to give the baby diapers. It is a maxi type to support the baby at night, especially to help with this problem," he said.
This gesture was soon followed by a pledge to take up all financial and legal needs of the mother and son by a Non-Profit Organization, Mokasa Women's Trust Fund.
Kwame from Ridge in Accra promised some cash to support the two in collaboration with a family trust fund.
“Our society needs to be more sensitive to people who are vulnerable. We need to take this forward and help the baby and mother” he said Wednesday.
