On this day in 2019, residents of Eldama Ravine woke up to a shocking discovery: dozens of terrified children stranded in the freezing Chemususu Forest. In a late-night “clean-up” operation, Nakuru County officials had allegedly rounded up 41 street children, promising them school and food, only to dump them in the wilderness at 1:00 AM.
