Baba Talisha cautions bullies against trolling children online
By Valerian Khakayi, August 26, 2025Famous photographer and social media influencer Faustine Lipuku, widely known as Baba Talisha, has issued a heartfelt plea to online communities, urging adults to reconsider their behaviour towards children on social media.
In a heartfelt statement shared on his official Instagram account on Monday, August 26, 2025, Baba Talisha expressed deep concern over the growing trend of adults finding comfort in trolling innocent kids online.
He emphasised that children, being pure souls, deserve love, protection, and kindness, not cruelty from adults hiding behind screens, adding that he has seen many children not get Talisha being trolled online.
“To online bullies. It breaks my heart to see grown people find comfort in trolling innocent kids online. I’ve seen it happen not just to my child, but to many children whose parents have shared their kids’ journey online, “Baba Talisha raised concerns.
“Children are pure souls who deserve love, protection, and kindness, not cruelty from adults hiding behind screens.”
Dangers of cyberbullying
The content creator further highlighted that such online bullying is not only harmful to the children but also to the families who share their children’s journeys online.
He pointed out the unpredictability of life, reminding individuals that no one knows what tomorrow holds for them, their children, or their loved ones.
Additionally, Baba T urged netizens to pause and reflect before commenting or posting harmful statements about innocent children.
“What many forget is that life is unpredictable no one knows what tomorrow holds for them, their children, or their loved ones,” he said.
“Before you type hurtful words, pause and think: would you want your own child to be spoken to that way? Let’s learn to build children up instead of tearing them down, because the scars of words can last longer than we think.”
His message serves as a reminder that the scars of words can last longer than we think. Baba Talisha’s call to action encourages adults to build children up instead of tearing them down, fostering an online environment of empathy and respect.

This comes after he recently confronted online trolls who have targeted his family, highlighting the prevalence of cyberbullying in the digital age. In a notable incident, he exposed a user who sent hurtful and tribal remarks about his current wife, Stellar Wanjey.
