The search for a missing three-year-old boy
Simoxile Linoga who went missing in Thembalethu is still continuing.
The boy went missing while playing near his
home in Zone 5 last week.
He was wearing a blue t-shirt, takkies and
black pants at the time of his disappearance.
Western Cape Social Development has called
on social workers to investigate neglect by the boys’ parents.
The
department’s spokesperson Melany Kuhn adds that the Minister of Social
development in the Western Cape Alberts Frits has also asked social workers
that during their assessment, the need to be ascertaining whether or not neglect
played a roll in this particular case.
Kuhn adds that this time of the year, they
often find that children go missing and very often neglect plays a hug role.
There is an appeal to parents that they
need to be aware of where their children are and who they are with at all time.
