The mother is a 22-year-old who has recently fled from Bardhere town in Gedo region due to the droughts. She is new in the environment, therefore isn’t well familiarized with the area. One day, her old sister who is the leader of the IDP camp told her to go to Tabellaha Market to buy some items. Sankheir was approached by a lady pretending to be a new arrival. The strange lady pleaded with Sankheir to give her accommodation for just a night, Sankheir accepted the lady’s request out of pure heart and humanity.

They stayed together during the night, when the day broke the strange lady told Sankheir to accompany her to Bakaaro Market to collect money sent to her from abroad. They went together to the market while Sankheir was carrying her baby boy on her back, but she did not know that the strange lady was intending to do something sinister.
While in Bakaaro market, Sankheir was persuaded to fill her missing tooth by the strange lady and all expense was going to be paid by the strange, posing as a good Samaritan. They went to a dentist hospital where according to Sankheir, she was given cold water mixed with of some elements of drugs and in the process she lost her consciousness. The strange lady took advantage of that and got away with the son of Sankheir.
