Can our children’s safety be guaranteed?

I HEAR that our children may be drafted for the latest version of National Service (NS) beginning next year.

When the previous version of NS was terminated, I heaved a great sigh of relief – and also sadness. Relief because there will be no more children ripped from the safety of our families and placed at a level of care unfit for any child. Sadness because the deaths that occurred in NS over the years which, to my mind, were the fault of the service providers, have not had justice – as far as I know, no one has been held accountable.
