Molested 3-year-old recovering slowly

The three-year-old child who was sexually molested almost two weeks ago is recovering slowly and is now in the care of her aunt.

Meanwhile her mother who was charged recently with ‘wilful neglect’ and appeared at the Sprinlands Magistrate’s Court is on bail.

Commander of B Division Ian Amsterdam told INews Thursday that investigations into the matter are ongoing and it is yet to be determined who sexually molested the young child.

He stated that the child was immediately taken out of the endangered environment, and with the intervention of the Child Protection Agency she is now in the care of her aunt.

Reports are that between June 18 and 19, the little girl’s mother, who is reportedly an alcoholic, had gone on a drinking spree and when she returned home the night she retired to bed with her five children.

Hours later mother awoke and discovered her three-year-old missing from their bed and upon checking she found the child on the floor of the house bleeding profusely from the vagina.

The matter was immediately reported and the child rushed to the hospital where she was admitted.

The mother and her ‘boyfriend’ had been taken into police custody when investigations commenced.
