Child Beggars cause havoc for motorists – Sharon Mdaka

An influx of children has resulted in mayhem at traffic intersections, causing concerns
among motorists. Motorists fear for their safety as these child beggars continue to cause
disturbances on Van Buuren Road. According to motorists, these children are rude to
motorists when they do not get their way. They try to intimidate residents if they refuse to
give them money and spit at and bang on their cars.

Bedfordview Ward Councillor Jill Humphreys said they are aware of the problem and that a
Bedfordview CPF member was attacked with a knife recently. “Yes, they have attacked a
member of our CPF with a knife. Make no mistake they are armed and dangerous,” stated
Humphreys. They have on multiple occasions, been removed, offered shelter, and removed
again. Shelters do not suit them because there are rules. Many of them are glue sniffers and
addicts,” she added. She emphasised that shelters do not tolerate these habits.

She added that the children cannot be forced to enter rehabilitation, and they will not do it
willingly. “They will keep coming back to our street because motorists reward them. The
only way we will curb or stop them occupying our street corners is for the public to stop
giving them money. Kind -hearted people often give them food, which they are known to
throw away.” She said they only want money for their next drug fix. Addressing the problem,
she said there must be a functioning economy that will give hope to young people.

Bedfordview acting station commander, Colonel Sinothi Ndaba, said they are working with
the courts, social services, and a newly formed group to assist and remove these children.
They have started to document some of them to identify where they originally came from.
Ndaba said they have made arrangements with the Department of Social Services to find a
suitable place for them. “If we can trace the parents, they will be charged with child
negligence. That’s the initiative we are busy with.”

Toddler tied up at Creche.

Johannesburg - Police, on Wednesday, appealed to the person or people who took the video

of a toddler, with her legs and arms bound, at a crèche in Rosettenville to assist in their

investigations. The appeal follows the arrest of a 58-year-old woman believed to be the

owner of Petite Bumper Day Care, the centre where the alleged abuse took place.

"We are appealing to those who took the video to come forward and assist us with the

investigations," spokesperson Captain Tshekiso Mofokeng said on Wednesday.

The Daily Sun reported, on Tuesday, that the toddler was tied up and gagged in a bathroom

of the crèche, allegedly by the owner, so that she could watch television. The paper

reported that it was in possession of a video of the child trying to free herself. In the

video, the child tries to free herself by moving around on the floor until she gets stuck

between the toilet and the wall. er

Crèche owner Labeeba Truter told the paper she was aware of the incident but had not

reported it to police. She claimed she was not responsible for the abuse and that she did not

know it was child abuse.

Mofokeng said a case of child abuse was opened but Truter had not yet been linked to the

case. He said Truter was being held for questioning as she was the owner of the crèche.

"We are aware of the crime, and we are now busy with investigations. We will be interviewing

workers to get more information and if she is linked, she will be charged," he said.
