It is wrong to name (even directly) and identify children who are in distressed situations. Let us do better and treat all children equally.

- Replying to @Like_LuloWe do not name children in stories, directly or indirectly. Naming his parents and using his photo is identifying the child. It is legally and ethically wrong. The fact that previously he was on TV with his mom (informed consent), it does not make it right this time.

- The theme for #ChildProtectionWeek2020, ‘Let us all protect children during COVID-19 and beyond’, is a reminder that, at all times and especially during this period, we are all responsible for protecting our nation’s greatest asset — our children. #ChildrenFirst #COVID19_SA
- Replying to @MalakoaneelvisWe can name a few cases for you where we intervened when a child was in distress here. We have traveled to CPT to follow up on cases we regularly get here. Children are children as long as they are within our boarders and regardless of nationality. They have the same rights.
