Child Protection week may be over, but our Sparrow Trust team is passionate about child safety 365 days a year!

So, as we maintain focus, know that we strive to:

Protect.
DEFEND.
Safeguard, all of our children.

All by the grace of God, to the best of our abilities, inspite of so many limitations and despite the obstacles, one day at a time.

We are the change-makers defending freedom on the home-front.

FYI: Incidents such as this one are preventable. Unfortunately, more people than we think, fall prey to criminals exploiting the needs, wants, hopes and desires of ordinary people.
This is why we at Sparrow Trust are committed to educating children and adults alike on digital hygiene and safety strategies.

Thank you to Isipingo Beach Intermediate School for welcoming us and creating the time to invest in learner's safety.

✅️Our safety session focused on building cohesion and a sense of pride in cultivating positive characteristics.
✅️Anti-bullying conversations are not just about what not to do, but rather what we CAN do for the safety of everyone.
✅️We also built skills to deal with conflict and disagreements in healthy ways.

In a society where our kids are exposed to high levels of violence and criminality we take every opportunity to speak about personal, group safety, and ways to reduce their risk of becoming victims.

❌There is no reason, there is no excuse.
A child victim of Human Trafficking is also a victim of extreme child abuse.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and a multi-billion-Rand criminal industry that denies freedom to many children around the world.

Protecting children from violence, exploitation and sexual abuse is not only a basic human value but also an obligation clearly set out in Section 28 of the South African Constitution.

⚠️Remember: No demand = No supply

📢For more information or to report Human Trafficking call 0800 222 777 or Crim Stop on 10 111.

We do what we do as Sparrow Trust to help prevent tragic scenarios like these.

Eight (8) Men Fall Victim To N**e Scam: Durban - KwaZulu Natal

Eight (8) men have been blackmailed after sending explicit images to individuals posing as a single woman on Facebook.

The victims, including a businessman, medical professionals, educators, and a lawyer approached Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) for assistance.

The suspects used a uniform modus operandi, initiating contact through friend requests and brief conversations before requesting WhatsApp numbers. They then obtained personal and work details, sent explicit images, and demanded explicit images in return, followed by blackmail demands for substantial sums of money.

Several of the victims paid large sums of money before they sought assistance.
