Quotes
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is escalating its campaign to strengthen accountability in child sexual abuse cases by taking its concerns to provincial legislatures across the country.
The move follows a dossier the DA submitted to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), alleging systemic failures by the Departments of Health, Social Development, Police, Justice, and Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities.
The party says government departments are failing to comply with mandatory reporting laws, allowing suspected child rapists to avoid investigation and prosecution.
A Form 22 is a statutory child protection form that must be completed by healthcare workers, teachers, social workers or other professionals whenever there is a reasonable suspicion that a child has been abused or deliberately neglected. Once submitted, it should trigger intervention by social workers and, where a criminal offence is suspected, referral to SAPS for investigation.
