Social media reactions
Nelly Ondisa:
“May she be found safe. Aki siku hizi tusilaumu wazazi, kuna wale hujaribu kulea watoto vizuri, mtoto hufika tu pahali na kufanya what she thinks is best for her or him. Let’s just pray for our kids.”
Leah Engesha
“Hilda atapatikana. Tuombe tu Mungu awe ameenda kwa boyfriend, bora arudi akiwa salama awache kutisha wazazi.”
Henry Butichi
“The school should have called the parent instead of sending her home a lone. Some teachers are unprofessional when it comes to handling matters of disciplinary proceedings.”
Favor Angel Sainah
“But wangeita mzazi kwanza wamuelezee Hilda akiwa hapo halafu wapatie mzazi mtoto wake na hiyo suspension letter.”
