RE: National Child Protection Week In South Africa: How You Can Help
the truth is that these commemorative dates should be used to tell the world about reality, those children separated from their family or who die at the hands of social service
I am not sure where you are from, but I have to say that while the Department of Social Services in South Africa is terrible when it comes to admin, they are very good at ensuring everyone is treated fairly and with utmost care. In fact, kids tend to stay in foster care quite long here, instead of becoming adoptable, because DSD really tries to rehabilitate birth parents before deciding to remove their children from them indefinitely.
Yes, @sweetpea we are lucky in South Africa in this regard as elsewhere, like in the USA, Canada, Uk and other places in Europe Child Protection Services is doing more harm than good to children and families. Thank you for writing about National Child Protection Week in South Africa.
