Every adult today was
once a child yesterday. And every child at one stage or the other soiled
the bed with urine while sleeping.
So before
you spank a child for bed wetting remember it comes with being a child
and later in life, he or she would surely grow over it.

A woman hairdresser, Kudirat Oyediran, has been arrested by the police in Ogun State for allegedly inflicting
injuries on her stepdaughter, Rachael Oyediran.
The 32-year-old Kudirat allegedly tortured the five-year-old for bed-wetting and disobedience.
Kudirat and Rachael live in Okeore, Atan Ota, in the Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of the state.
The mother of one was apprehended after a neighbour reported the alleged torture to the police at the Onipanu division.
Punch News, reported that Rachael’s mother died five years ago when she was three months old.
She was said to have been under the care of the suspect, whom her father married a few years after.
The
Abeokuta, Ogun State indigene, reportedly told the police that she beat
Rachael for being “obstinate”, adding that she only used brooms to beat
her.
She
said, “She is my stepdaughter and I have been taking good care of her.
But she is very stubborn. If I give an instruction, she won’t follow it.
She is bed-wetting and I have cautioned her several times. She is also
fond of stealing pieces of meat from the pot of stew. I only beat her
with brooms; I don’t use any object on her. I promise not to beat her
again.”
A
police source said that the victim had been handed over to her father,
Dele, who was made to sign an undertaking that the girl would be
properly taken care of thenceforth.
The woman has a six-month-old baby.
“The
girl would have been transferred to a motherless home, but her father
and some community elders pleaded that she should not be taken there.
The father wrote an undertaking to ensure her proper upkeep before she
was released to him.”
The
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, in a
text message, confirmed the woman’s arrest, adding that the case would
be charged to court.
He said, “The command has no tolerance for inhuman cases of such and will always fish out the culprits.”
