Krugersdorp Police are concerned about the number of cases of child abandonment and concealment of birth being reported to them. “We would like to encourage those who are experiencing difficulties to rather seek help from social workers, churches or anyone they trust to take care of their baby.
Leaving a baby to die is not the answer,” said Brigadier Patrick Baloyi, Krugersdorp Police station commander.
Krugersdorp Police are appealing to anyone who could help trace the person responsible for this crime. Information can be forwarded to them on 011 951 1151 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
