An 11 year old girl fled her residence after she was allegedly beaten by her mother who accused her of theft.
A member of the public contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) after the child was located walking aimlessly in Hilltop – KZN at approximately 20:37 (last night). On arrival, she informed RUSA Members that she resides in the Ntombe near Trenance Park – KZN. She fled from home after she was assaulted by her mother who accused the child of stealing money from her. The woman also informed her that she was not her biological parent and her real mother abandoned her at birth. The girl further stated that she opted to leave home as the abuse was ongoing and unbearable.
She was transported to the Verulam SAPS for further investigation into the matter.
