Social Worker/Researcher/Child Welfare Consultant/Kinship Assessor for Alternative Care/Humanitarian Services/Train Social Workers for Public & Private Sectors
The many unanswered questions around child welfare in South East Nigeria point to serious gaps in child protection. When placements in foster care are done informally, without assessment or social work supervision, children are left vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, and neglect.
Based on my research findings and professional practice as a social worker in Nigeria, I maintain that informal foster care must be monitored and regulated.
Protecting our children is a collective responsibility. Formal oversight is not interference; it is safeguarding childhood. No child should be hidden from protection. Let every foster home be a safe home.
LATEST ON ANOTHER DISHEARTENING CASE OF GROSS CHILD ABUSE/IN ANAMBRA STATE.
A disturbing video of a little girl of about 6 years old. Her name is Uchendu Ngozika. Unfortunately, she is an orphan.
According to her, she was tied with a rope and dumped without food nor water for days. Her persistent cry attracted the attention of a good Samaritan who offered some help by untying her and then took her to an undisclosed hospital.
According to report, this action of inhumanity has been going on for up to 5 times. According to the medical doctor, both hands cannot function properly without urgent attention of a physiotherapist.

You know children are curious, right? Did you explain to the child why you considered what he did wrong first?
This is how we generally kill kids' curiosity that should set them apart cos of our biasness.
Some of us need parenting skills training. Children are naturally curious and will want to explore with anything available. A simple explanation would have been okay as part of education.
