Way too many of OUR children are being attacked, raped and neglected by fellow South Africans and even more so sad…Family Members. Today I even read an article where a 14 year old boy was arrested this past weekend for killing 4 family members by hacking them to death with an axe. I am not defending him nor am I saying that he’s guilty until this is investigated and he’s convicted of this crime. What I’m getting at is WHAT can cause a 14 year old CHILD to allegedly commit a crime of this nature… I guess we’ll find out in time.
Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini explained that the “National Children Protection Week” campaign is kicking off at the “International Conference Centre” in Durban and runs from 27 May to 3 June under the theme “Working Together to Protect Children”.
To show your support, wear the green ribbon which symbolises life and growth associated with children.

I am purposefully not using the names of the recent Rape and Violence attack victims in our country as I do not want it to seem as though I’m using their stories for visitors here but my heart and condolences goes out to all of the friends and families still dealing with the attacks and in some instances, deaths of these children.
Come on South Africa and even the rest of the world. Let’s stand up and protect our Children, Together.
Sincerely Yours,
Stan1
