The story portrays the mother as a bad person who practices serious witchcraft such that her own children refuses to stay with her, which is a rare case in the Zambian, set up.

The headline of the story reinforces stereotype by showing that the woman has a bad heart such that she can bitch her own children, as such she cannot take care of them. Besides the language used in the story does not show that it is an accusation but comes out as if the reporter has evidence to show that the woman practices witchcraft.
