Instagram Post about Kenyan Child Sparks Outrage









                                                                 


A woman, Jossa Johansson is under scrutiny after posting what seemed like a innocent post on Instagram(IG). It was a photo of herself hugging a young girl from Kibera, Kenya.The image was accompanied by a caption that in part read, "In two years you are going to meet a grown man that you have never met before and you two are going to have a child ... if you are lucky ... he will probably leave you alone ... in your small home made of mud and tree's. You will probably sell your body to someone else to earn money for your child." The outrage poured on social media as many Africans along with Kenyans felt that people like Johansson are, "pathetic" and "disgusting." A tweet with screen shots of the post by Johansson has garnered more than 37,500 retweets and 82,100 likes in a span of four days. [2 images, 2 links, 3 quotations, 148 words].
