Kids walk from Keroka to Bomet

In an interview with Kenya's TUKO.co.ke, Chepkoech said that the three, Kevin, Calik and Melody, went to school and afterwards started walking from Keroka and found themselves in Bomet County.

"They were just following the tarmacked road to reach Nairobi where they believe their father lives," said Chepkoech.

"I found them outside my gate and inquired what they were doing there; they told me they come from Nyamasaria in Keroka and were headed to Nairobi to look for their dad. The kids have injuries on their backs and I looked for the chief of their area who confirmed that their mum remarried three months ago and the two fought a lot," she added.

Chepkoech took the kids to the police station, and she was told to hold on to them until they could find better placement for them, given what they were going through at home.

Life of 3 kids in danger

Young Kevin, 11, told Kenya's Tuko.co.ke that their mum separated from their dad, and she quickly got married to another man who badly mistreated them.

Calik, 9, said he used to slap their young sister on the ear, while Melody, 5, was also frustrated by his insults.

A video showed her stepfather working on her bicycle when a lady suspected to be her mother gushed over the young man, calling him "daddy".

Reacting to this, the little girl immediately frowned her face and noted that the man was not her daddy. She said her real daddy is in jail, and she misses him.
