Children’s Authority concerned over rape

she said. “If the child is imminent danger then we need to find a safe place for that child whether it is with a family member, or whether it is in a place of safety or in a foster care environment or in a children’s home. Our first concern is the safety of the child and then caring for that child.” She expressed concern with the way the reports of child abuse are carried out in the media.

“We are a very small society and sometimes even without giving the name of a child but by saying where the child goes to school or the area or the perpetrator, it is enough information to place that child in further danger,” Ali-Abdullah said.

She added that the Authority will host a training workshop for media professionals on May 5.
