18-month-old toddler in Uganda caught on video violently being beaten by nanny, "is OK"


Jolly Tumuhirwe is facing attempted murder charges after video shows her stomping on a helpless toddler.

Horrifying footage has surfaced of a nanny in Uganda violently beating an 18-month-old toddler and throwing her to the floor. Dad Eric Kamanzi watched the disturbing nanny-cam video after noticing bruises on his daughter's body. Jolly Tumuhirwe, 22, has been charged with attempted murder for the assault on the child in Kamanzi's Kampala home.

The enraged father reportedly assaulted the nanny, but police refused to press charges against him.
The dad shared the nanny-cam video with family members, who passed it on to their friends. The video has since gone viral and has been viewed more than 21 million times on Facebook, according to the BBC.

"Personally, I prefer my privacy but I'm sure I helped a lot of people out there and on that note I'm happy that the video is out there," Kamanzi told BBC.

In the beginning of the video, the nanny can be seen getting frustrated while trying to feed the toddler. She hits the child in the face several times.

It gets worse from there. After the toddler throws up, the nanny throws her to the ground and hits her with a flashlight several times. Tumuhirwe then repeatedly stomps on the defenseless girl.

The girl was hospitalized, but "she is OK" now, her mother told the Daily Monitor.
