Council neglects molested girls

The parents say that two secondary schoolboys sexually molested their 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old niece (who lives with them): first during the December 2010 school holiday; and second, during the July 2011 school holidays at Botlhapatlou.

The parents say that they have reported the children's cases with a social worker (name known to Mmegi) at the KDC in January, but since then no action has been taken. "The social worker assured us that she would talk to a police officer, and would come here to talk to the children, but up until now she hasn't done so," the mother told Mmegi in an interview.
