In the video, Hellen Ati expressed anger over Cubana Chiefpriest’s refusal to recognise the child, saying she would make life difficult for the boy or even allow harm to come to him if the matter was not resolved.
Reacting to the video, child welfare advocates and social media users have warned that her words could signal real danger, urging authorities to remove the boy from her care.
One of the strongest voices calling for action is a popular social media personality with the X handle @OurFavOnlineDoc, who expressed deep concern for the child and stated that threats of this nature must be taken seriously.
His post reads in part:
“I hope the Kenyan authorities look into this matter and take that child away from this woman. At this point, I write this from a point of deep concern for the little boy… The life of the boy child matters. Pls speak up.”

Threats like this must be taken seriously – Adebimpe
Entertainment analyst and social commentator Smith Adebimpe expressed worry over the situation involving Hellen Ati and the child allegedly linked to Cubana Chief Priest.
“Hellen Ati should be taken seriously. Some people may think she’s chasing clout, but when a mother openly talks about harming her own child, that is no longer something to joke about. The way she shouted at that little boy in the video was too harsh, and now adding threats of frustration and possible harm is very alarming. What mother says that about her own child? Kenyan authorities should not wait until something unfortunate happens. The boy is innocent in all of this and shouldn’t suffer for issues he knows nothing about. They need to act fast and protect him.”
