MONTE VISTA: LONG-TERM SOLUTION SOUGHT
Street kids in peril RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
T
he issue of the removal of street children presents a challenge, because many of the children will return to the street if they are released from the system – sometimes through their own choice and sometimes at the behest of their family or other
adults – the Western Cape department of social development says. The department is, therefore, trying to implement longer-term programmes for care and rehabilitation of such children, minister of social development Sharna Fernandez told TygerBurger last week. Recently Monte Vista residents expressed their dissatisfaction at the behaviour of a group of street
children after they allegedly abandoned a full loaf of bread next to a busy road, donated to them by a kind Samaritan. News of this was posted on the Monte Vista ratepayers association Facebook page by a passing motorist. The post attracted a significant amount of reaction – a total of 32 comments followed.
“Stop giving anything to them! I am sorry, but the more people give them stuff, the more show up,” a part of one message left in the string of comments, read. “One person responded saying the group of children want money for drugs, or booze and that food is not a priority. “Children living or begging on the street, are defined in the Chil-
dren’s Act as children in need of care and protection, and, therefore, have the same right to receive the necessary social work and children’s court services and legal protection as any other child in need of care and protection. “However, many of the street children we work with also have more specialised needs.
