Child welfare experts say a Tshwane day- mother who has been accused of assault after a baby was allegedly abused at her house
 Child welfare experts say a Tshwane day- mother who has been accused of assault after an eight-month-old baby was allegedly abused at her house acted ‘irresponsibly’ and was ‘neglectful’.

Lidia Venter, from the Pretoria Day-Mothers Association which the accused day-mother belongs to, says it is the duty of a day-mother to ensure the person they leave children with is responsible.

“You cannot leave the children with a stranger. It has to be someone responsible, someone you know very well,” says Lidia.
