A 16-year-old girl from Kilimani, Nairobi County has surprised many after posting online inviting men to come to her home to play games and keep her company. She explained that she was feeling scared staying alone at night.
In a statement, the young girl said her parents had traveled to Kakamega for a funeral, leaving her home alone. Feeling frightened, she decided to reach out online for someone to keep her company during the night.
The girl even shared the location of her house, saying she would be happy if anyone willing could come. Her post quickly attracted attention on social media, with many Kenyans reacting in different ways.
Some found the post funny, while others warned about the dangers of sharing personal information online. Many urged the girl to seek help from trusted neighbors, friends, or relatives instead of strangers.
Experts say that teenagers should never invite strangers, especially men, into their homes. They advise contacting a trusted adult if feeling scared or alone.
This incident has sparked discussions about online safety and the importance of teaching young people how to protect themselves while using social media.
