An American couple living in Nairobi, Kenya, say a three-year-old boy in their custody was taken away by authorities last month without explanation

Surveillance footage from April 5, obtained by CNN, shows two cars pull up to the Mazzoncinis' apartment complex and a group of people piling out. Shortly after, two women, their faces obscured by headscarves, can be seen carrying the boy downstairs and out of the building. That was the last time Matt and Daisy Mazzoncini saw Kiano, whom they say they've been caring for since he was 6 months old.

— Daisy May 8, 2019 Article 53 of the Kenyan constitution explicitly states that a child's best interests are"of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child."Asked whether CWSK was acting in Kiano's best interests, Mureithi told CNN:"You do not look at the short term, you look at the long term. In the case of a child, you do not look at the initial feelings of people, the initial suffering.
