I WAS NEGLECTED AND ABUSED 

my name is Benson Igaka aged 14 years.I have both my parents alive but they have no feelings for me.They tortured me until I ended up on the streets in akmega town.WEAEP took me up to help sort out my case.
They did a lot of counselling for me before taking me back home.When I was taken back to school in the class I had dropped in std 7,I found it hard   as I was the biggest boy with children much smaller.

Also my parents kept on beating me so I escaped from home again.This year 2011,WEAP again found me.They are planning to help me this time in a more permanent way due to my advanced age. They have also recommended ways for the government to get me a meaningful programme.
