Liberian mother (16) claims her baby turned into a man (in seconds) & ran away

As crazy as this sounds the people in the community actually believed it and thje traditional rulers and worshipers seem to have some kinda explanation for this happening. Read the full story after the cut. Oh! Did I mention that this story made headlines in the papers.

From Liberian Observer
Residents of Foquelleh in Panta District in Bong County
were said to have been in unbelievable shock when a
two-month-old baby, identified by family members as
Smith Freeman, Tuesday, September 23, morning grew
into a full grown man and escaped into the bush with his
mother’s lappa.
According to the mother of the child, Lorpu Kollie, 16, on
Tuesday she and the child were on their way to the farm
when the child on her back tied in lappa spoke to her
and told her to put him down.
She told the Daily Observer that as they approached the
crossroad, the child repeated his call on the mother to
untie her lappa and put him down. As soon as she put
the baby down, she continued, the two-month-old boy
instantaneously began to grow into a full grown man!
Lorpu Kollie narrated that the child informed her that he
(the child) was on his way back home since his
grandmother, Lorpu Kollie’s mother, was in the constant
practice of raining insult at him. He even threatened
bring incense and garlic into the home.
“This was my first time seeing a two-month-old baby
talking so clearly like a five year old child,” Lopu Kollie
explained through a mobile phone interview with our
reporter.
She told the Daily Observer the baby who grew into man
immediately took away her lappa and made his way with
it into the bush.
The 16-year-old mother intoned that she had earlier had
dreams of her son where they both went into a town and
entered a house without doors but they leaned on the
house and found their way in as instructed by her son,
Smith Freeman.
She explained that in the dream, her son was the one
serving guests with the food and her son emphatically
warned her not to dare telling the dream to anyone. But
according to her, she revealed the dream to her mother,
Gormah Kollie.
Lorpu Kollie was swift to tell this newspaper that Smith
Freeman did not have any scar or deformity on his body
that could convince community dwellers that the baby
was somehow belonging to the dark world.
“The boy told me that he was going back home because
my mother had threatened to bring incense into the
house. He said the grandmother told him she had the
power to drive away any witch craft, Lorpu Kollie told
this reporter.
Speaking earlier to this newspaper, the father of the
baby, Watson Freeman said since his girlfriend, Lorpu
Kollie conceived, she complained of body and other
related pains until she finally gave birth.
Watson Freeman described the mysterious
disappearance of his son as incredible and mind-
blowing, saying he did not experience any apprehension
about him being beyond being a normal human being.
For his part, the grandfather of the baby, Jerome Kowan,
said the unexplained vanishing of two-month-old Smith
Freeman is the handiwork of the dark world.
He maintained that the situation could stigmatize his
daughter and drive away any man who may wish to take
her as a future wife.
Meanwhile, traditional leaders in the area have
commenced a traditional investigation into the situation
and advised people who made farms in the direction to
which the baby escaped to stay away for a couple of
days and observe.
