Government on Wednesday welcomed the closure of the Rosettenville crèche in Johannesburg where a toddler was bound, gagged, and left in a bathroom unattended
“Government welcomes the closure of Petite Bumper Daycare Centre in Rosettenville by the Department of Social Development and law enforcement agencies in Gauteng,” spokesperson Phumla Williams said in a statement.
The centre came under the spotlight on Tuesday when the Daily Sun published screen shots of the toddler tied up and gagged in a bathroom at the crèche, allegedly by the owner, so that she could watch television.
In the video, the child tries to free herself by moving around on the floor until she gets stuck between the toilet and the wall.
According to the Daily Sun, the owner of the créche admitted knowing of the incident but failed to report it because she “didn’t know it was child abuse”.
