{Johannesburg – The man accused of beating a 5-year-old girl to death in Bloemhof for wetting herself should not be granted bail, an outraged African National Congress Women’s League (ANCWL) said on Sunday.}<\/p>\n
It also wants more to be done to educate women on the warning signs for problematic behaviour in relationships before it becomes fatal.<\/p>\n
The league called on mothers to seek assistance and find protection for their children when their safety is at risk.<\/p>\n
”The killing is senseless and unfortunate for a child who needed love and protection from both parents. She did not deserve to die in such a manner. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased child,” the ANCWL said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The girl was beaten to death last Wednesday, allegedly by her mother’s boyfriend, after he apparently became angry when she wet herself while sleeping on a couch made up as a bed.<\/p>\n
The urine went into the couch and he allegedly beat her so severely, even tying her to a support structure and throwing her on the ground, that police and paramedics declared her dead when they arrived to help.<\/p>\n
Her mother had tried to intervene but was also assaulted, according to police.<\/p>\n
The man was arrested and is expected to appear in the Bloemhof Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a charge of murder.<\/p>\n
The league called on people in the vicinity and the province to support the child’s grieving family, and wants a heavy sentence for the man as a warning to other perpetrators of violence against women and children.<\/p>\n
