Dilemma 1: Young child both in urban and rural areas, using contraceptive implant to decrease the risk of pregnancy (sometimes after parent’s consent) but getting tested STI positive for having unprotected sex. Parents not aware of sexually transmitted diseases.
Dilemma 2: Parents leaving (e.g.13 or 14 y/o) older child to supervise younger children (e.g.8 or 9 y/o) in the house.
Dilemma 3: a 15 y/o girl was staying in the house of auntie (mum’s sister) while the mum was in the hospital ICU. A child sex offender (also mum’s new partner) was visiting the house of auntie at night with few other people (drinking and smoking the night away). Child protection taskforce had sexual harm concern as the sex offender was visiting the house where the 15 y/o was staying. The taskforce was trying to remove the child from that house to a safer place. But the child sex offender was on the loose and the police was only looking for him during the day time, not at night (even after police had information that he visits the house at night). The case was a priority too.
