Western Cape MEC for Social
Development Albert Fritz has called on parents to be cautious about the safety
of their children.
This comes after a two month old Azile
Skafu was reunited with his mother. The infant was snatched from his parents’
home on Friday.
A 35 year-old woman has been
arrested in connection with his kidnapping after the baby was found late
yesterday.
Parents must remember the children
act makes very clear provision for the department to purse a prosecution in
child neglect if this happens again
“In this case we are happy the child
is found and we do not want to go the punitive way but we want to call on
specifically young parents to take responsibility of their children” Fritz
added.
Meanwhile African Christian
Democratic Party said they are delighted that the little boy was found safely
and been returned to his parents.
ACDP Leader in the Western Cape
Ferlon Christians said South African Police Service needs to be commended for
the job they have done.
“We know that child trafficking is a
major problem globally, we urge parents to be more vigilant concerning their
children’s whereabouts.” Christians added.
