A case of child abandonment is under investigation.
An investigation in line with the Children’s Act will form part of the case of abandonment opened against a Cape Town father, after his three-year-old daughter was found wandering alone along Sea Point promenade on Youth Day.
Police confirmed that a 32-year-old father was arrested after his daughter was found alone along the promenade.
He is expected to appear in court soon.
MEC for Social Development, Jaco Londt, said when a child is placed within their care, an assessment is done and efforts taken to try and trace the family.
