Abused children may be taken into care
Abused or neglected children could be taken from their parents and placed in foster homes, under a law being drawn up by the Ministry of Social Affairs.
The Child Rights Act, a draft copy of which was given to The National by the ministry yesterday, is due to go before the Federal National Council, where it will be subject to debate and amendment. It will then require the President’s approval to become law.
