Die pogings van \u2019n ouma om die reg te bekom om haar kleinkind se wettige voog te wees, beweeg teen \u2019n slakkepas, en nou stel dit die kind se gesondheid in gevaar. <\/p>\n
Jolanda Botes, wat haar driejarige kleinkind versorg, mag egter byvoorbeeld nie die meisietjie se tande laat trek nie, omdat sy nie die wettige voog is nie, en nou ly die kindjie daaronder.<\/p>\n
Botes het haar driejarige kleinkind in Junie verlede jaar ingeneem nadat die meisie daagliks tussen Worcester en Ashton saam met haar pa geryloop het.<\/p>\n
Voordat sy die kind ingeneem het, het die kind by haar ma gewoon, maar weens omstandighede moes die kind oorgeplaas word na haar toe.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het aanvanklik nie \u2019n probleem gehad om die kind in te neem nie, want dit is mos immers my kleinkind,\u201d s\u00ea Botes.<\/p>\n
Volgens Botes is die kind net vir drie maande deur \u2019n maatskaplike werker van Kindersorg in haar sorg geplaas.<\/p>\n
Vandat haar kleinkind by haar woon, is die Sassa-toelae wat aan haar (die kind) se versorger toegeken word, gevries omdat sy (Botes) \u2019n salaris verdien.<\/p>\n
Die maatskaplike werker het Botes weer genader en gevra of die kind dalk langer by haar kan bly, en sy het ingestem.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het ook navraag gedoen oor hoekom die Sassa-toelae gevries is, want my salaris gaan nie genoeg wees om nog iemand te voed nie,\u201d verduidelik Botes.<\/p>\n
Die kind se gesondheid het ook intussen agteruitgegaan, want volgens haar ouma is haar tandjies vrot, wat maagpyn veroorsaak. \u201cSy is drie jaar oud en sy moet soms weggooidoeke gebruik, so erg loop haar maag. Die tandjies moet getrek word en ek kry n\u00earens hulp nie. Dit moet onder narkose gedoen word, en omdat ek nie die wettige voog is nie, kan ek nie toestemming gee dat dit gedoen word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die kind moet ook by \u2019n skool geregistreer word, maar nie voordat Botes haar wettige voog is nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk weet nie meer watter kant toe nie. \u2019n Jaar is al verby en ek sukkel steeds met die situasie. Ek wil weet hoekom die proses so lank vat. Ek is bang iets gebeur met die kind en dit kom uit dat ek nie haar wettige voog is nie \u2013 hoe maak ek dan?\u201d het sy moedeloos gevra. <\/p>\n
Alicia Prins, \u2019n bestuurder by Kindersorg, s\u00ea die proses om \u2019n kind in pleegsorg te plaas, hang af van die inligting wat bymekaargemaak moet word en die mense betrokke. \u201cWanneer die maatskaplike werker \u2019n hofsaak geopen het, het hy of sy 90 dae om \u2019n verslag te skryf en die kind in pleegsorg te plaas. Dit kan ook gebeur dat die situasie verander en nuwe inligting ingesamel moet word.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Botes se geval, waar die Sassa- toelae gevries is, sal sy \u2013 sodra die kind amptelik in haar sorg geplaas is \u2013 om \u2019n pleegtoelae aansoek kan doen.<\/p>\n
Rakende die kind se gesondheid het Prins ges\u00ea net die kind se biologiese ouers mag toestemming gee vir mediese prosedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
