Police concerned about apparent lack of parental control
Mafikeng Mail
|June 27, 2025
Three cases of statutory rape were recently opened by a nursing sister and medical practitioner at the Christiana Police Station after three teenage girls aged 14, 15 and 16 visited the local clinic for check-ups and were confirmed to be pregnant.
-
The three girls, who are supposed to be attending school, visited the clinic unaccompanied by their parents and this raised suspicion and concerns of the health professionals about possible breach of duty of care by their guardians.
Taking into account the seriousness and prevalence of incidents of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) especially crimes against women and girl children, the South African Police Service's (SAPS) Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit, was notified to immediately investigate the possible contravention of the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Amendment Act, 2007 (Act No. 32 of 2007).
