This is one post that will break every parent’s heart. 💔
Imagine losing your child… and not even knowing when or how it happened.
15-year-old Ian Gichagua Maingi, a Form 2 student at Njumbi High School, is missing.
A bright, disciplined, and cheerful boy — full of dreams and potential.
Nothing seemed unusual until 17th October, when Ian’s mother, Jennifer Muthoni, received a text from the school saying students would be released for the long December holidays. She was happy her son had completed the term well. The school even praised his performance in another message.
But when the students were released the next morning, Ian never came home.
Earlier in September, Mama Ian had visited the school after hearing that students with school fees balances would be sent home. She pleaded with the administration to allow her son to stay as she tried to clear the balance. The school agreed — and that’s the last comfort she had.
When she didn’t see Ian among those sent home for fees, she thought he was safe and studying.
But on 18th October, as other parents welcomed their children home, Mama Ian waited for the notification that never came.
When she called the school, a teacher said the students had already left hours earlier. Later, Ian’s class teacher claimed he had gone home weeks ago due to school fees. But the principal denied ever sending him home.
That’s when reality hit — her son had been missing for nearly three weeks, and the school never noticed.
A classmate said Ian had mentioned feeling unwell and wanting to go home after church on Sunday, 28th September. But his mother never received any leave-out message — and the school has no idea how he left.
The matter is now reported at Nyakianga Police Station, under OB Number 13/19/10/2025 at 1511 hours.
Now a family is living through every parent’s worst nightmare — wondering where their child is, whether he’s safe, or if he’s even alive.
