Adolf Baguma was 7 when his aunt burned him with hot banana leaves because he tried to take food.

Baguma lived in Uganda when, at age 7, his 14-year-old aunt badly burned his legs with a banana leaf as punishment for trying to take food. His legs healed at a 90 degree angle because the burns were never treated properly, forcing him to crawl on all fours to get around.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
