Deadbeat parents in Kenya need to watch out - all their true colors are being exposed on a Facebook page.
A new group on the social media site called "Dead Beat Kenya" is exposing absentee parents including politicians, celebrities and women.
Founded by Jackson Njeru on Sept. 6, the page was designed to be a support group for single mothers. It already has over 180,800 members.
"This thing is happening in all families - we have people getting kids and running away," Njeru tells CNN. "Our kids are being violated."
Njeru acknowledges that it's hard to verify that the accusations made on the page are true, but tells CNN he feels that exposing the runaway parents will help the children in the long run.
The page allows parents to post the name, picture and phone number of the father of their children who they believe acted irresponsibly as a parent. However, Njeru says he and his team fact check the posts for falsity.
"We first call the person who is accusing, then we call the accused. From there if the person is not willing to take care of his or her own responsibility, that's when we approve the post," Njeru tells BBC's Focus on Africa program.
Lawyer Ray Tollo warns that even if the information is verified, it could still negatively affect the children.
"The child might go through trauma, embarrassment and a lot of other future problems," Tollo tells CNN.
However, some users feel that the page is helpful. "This is the best thing ever for single mums," a woman writes on the page.
