Okay Guys, This is really a serious issue.

I am a South African and I would like to know if anyone would like to add their names to this petition or if anyone over there can raise the issue with the media. Ideally, a world-wide outcry would force our government into action. I know you guys have a lot on your plates right now, but this is just wrong:

Last week a 3 year old girl (in Athlone) was beaten and raped. She is still alive. The man responsible has been released on bail yesterday. He is walking the streets ... Friends, if you are too busy to read this then just sign your name and forward this. The South African Government is planning to close the child protection unit and this is a petition against it!! This is a very important petition. It is an essential part of our justice system for children. You may have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that having sex with a virgin will cure AIDS. The younger the virgin, the more potent the cure. This has led to an epidemic of rapes by infected males, with the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in these cruel rapes. Recently in Cape Town, a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. The child abuse situation is now reaching catastrophic proportions and if we don't do something, then who will? Kindly add your name to the bottom of the list and please pass this on to as many people as you know.*

**If you are signature no.: 120 - please forward the mail-list to:*

*childprotectpca@saps.org.za*

Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South Africa.You can make a difference! That child is fighting for life.

This is just 1 of the million cases of child abuse, so please pledge your support and help keep CPU (CHILD PROTECTION UNIT) open.
