17 year old girl gang raped

My heart goes out to the mentally ill 17 year old girl who was gang raped by seven men in Soweto.Its been reported that this girl has been sexually molested since the age of 12. Its quite frightening how people take advantage of those without a "voice". I hope that justice prevails and that these men be punished.May God be with the family.

Save your child…before its too late!

 It’s pretty common for parents to just leave it to the teachers to fully care for their kids in the school environment…but is this the right thing to do? I would disagree!

Help the teacher to help your child 

One of the reasons mental illness is left untreated is that parents do not play their roles to make sure their kids are well looked after at school. For most parents, simply enrolling their kids in a school is enough; they never really get to be fully involved after that. This is not to say the parents should take all the blame for such negligence. In today’s busy life it’s easy for parents to get caught up in their own lives and neglect their children’s well-being only to notice when it’s a little too late. It’s not wise to assume that your child’s teacher is well-equipped with psychological knowledge. Don’t just assume that the teacher knows what ADHD is, reality is…they might not know. The easiest thing to do would be to explain your child’s needs. And if your child has a psychological disorder, let the teachers know. Teachers should also be informed what to do or who to call in case of your child’s emergency. This applies for any other condition both psychological and physical.The last thing you want is your child dying in the hands of teachers who had no clue what the problem was.

When we are sick or injured we head straight to the doctor. We should do the same with our mental health and treat it with the same level of care and concern we do a physical problem.
