A 39- year-old Zimbabwean woman, Annie Mpariwa who is HIV positive has been for breastfeeding a neighbour's baby without her consent. The case which is already in court has been set for further hearing on the 24th of october for an HIV test to be performed on the toddler. She was arrested last week on charges of common nuisance and should the child test positive; the charge will be raised to "deliberately infecting another person with HIV". The mother of the 14-month-old baby said seeing her child being breastfed by her neighbour was traumatizing.
According to her, the neighbour snatched the child while she was playing out side and hid her in her room, but after searching for the child for quite some time, she went and knocked on the neighbour's room and got no response. Upon peeping through the window, she saw her breastfeeding the little girl.
Annie claimed that her breast were leaking milk and so she thought she should breastfeed the little girl.
Now thats just SHEER WICKEDNESS!!! i do hope that baby is ok.
