Baby S was placed into temporary, immediate safe care at Atlantic Hope after her mom was arrested in Sea Point, under the influence of alcohol. Baby S needed a place of safety while her mother was detained. She came to us slightly thin but this little one’s appetite was huge. As of January via the Cape Town Children’s Court, she was placed in the care of her grandmother pending legal procedures. On the same day of her mother’s court appearance, she was re-united with her biological mother and grandmother via the Children’s Court and ACVV Cape Town. A court enquiry has been opened and she remains in her grandmother’s care whilst her biological mother is still able to care for her and seek rehabilitation.
