Protect, support abused children
The Citizen|November 20, 2024
Child abuse is a terrible crime. No-one would argue with that. But, in South Africa, we compound this abuse of the people who are our future by denying them the one thing which might bring healing - justice.

It is shocking to read that a paltry 4% of reported cases of child abuse actually result in a criminal conviction. Do you think that just one in 25 people accused of abusing a child is guilty? Or could it be that our judicial system is so horrendously inept that the offenders are getting away with their crimes?
