Ghanaian Woman Apprehended In The UK For Inserting Ginger In Child’s Anus As Punishment

Manchester police have arrested a Ghanaian woman for subjecting her son to a painful and embarrassing form of punishment.

The woman identified as Aba Hagan, was arrested Thursday and charged with cruelty to persons, third-degree assault, impairing the morals of/or endangering a child and disorderly conduct.

The 40 year-old lady, according to reports, initially denied doing anything, but said that her son “had messed up in school and she punished him.”

“Aba stated she had taken a piece of ginger and put it into (the victim’s) anus,” the report said.

“I asked why she would do this,” Officer Daniel Roberts wrote, “and she stated this was a common punishment in her home country of Ghana, Africa.”
