Today, Mauritius has woken up with another shocking news reported by RadioPlus. The private radio station announced having in its possession a video showing an employee of a Crèche, slapping a small kid and later in the same video, hitting another kid.
The video is now available on youtube. Altenatively, you can watch it the original clip below :
With proof in hand, the reporters showed the fact to the director of this famous kindergarten of Quatre Bornes. The employee has immediately been sacked and it was said that appropriate actions will also be taken against the employee who recorded the video, for non-assistance to the kids.
Sheila Bappoo, the minister of Gender Equality ,Child Protection and Family Planning has announced her visit to the kindergarden early this morning while the Ombudsperson for Children, Shirin Aumeeruddy-Cziffra, has claimed the closure of this Crèche. Another news, revealed by the Ombudsperson : this nursery is not registered at the Ministry because it does not respect the standards required.
If you are hearing this news for the first time, I sincerely believe that you should think about tuning to another radio channel. So far, I believe that Radio Plus (and the defimedia group) has been doing a great job, keep it up! Of course, there are few exceptions, just like right now, a post showing up on their homepage :
The blame surely goes to the web server (which was down for 2days) and the webmaster. And perhaps the news reporter too, who published false (and unconfirmed) news since the accident happened at Tamarin…
You can now leave your comments 🙂
Thanks for your participation.

******”Sollicitée pour une réaction par Radio Plus, l’assistante maternelle a nié les faits qui lui sont reprochés. «C’est vrai que j’ai été remerciée par la direction de la crèche. Une fille qui travaillait là -bas allègue que je frappais les enfants. C’est complètement faux. Si vous voulez plus de détails, contactez mon avocat», a-t-elle fait comprendre.”*********

I’m not sure about the non-assistance issue . What could the author of the video have done to save the kids from being beaten ? Reporting that sort of violence would probably have been dismissed as gossip or defamation .
It seems there has been previous cases of children been hurt there that management did not investigate too much . This must not have been the first time that person has been violent with children . The surest way to put an end to it and to force action from the management and the various, often passive child protecting bodies was to have it filmed .

Ou conner, c’est bien nou bann autorités ki pas compétent ditout: imagine enn coutte: mo bann camarade ki’nn émigrer vers Canada dire moi ki zott inn gagne 1 year’s parenthood leave (meaning either the mother or the father can take it, full salary paid), plus an optional additional second year parenthood leave (75% – 80% salary paid) pou occupe zott bébé. Ek sa, li valable pou enn maximum 3 z’enfants, si ou marrier civil (ena zis mariaz civil ki autorisé).

Bann jeunes parents endure bann moments bien “challenging”, entre bann biberons/tétées réguliers, manque sommeil, travail, ek pression familial etc… Dans conditions coumsa, nou bann chers autorité dire ou ki ou bizin capav alle travail. Li aussi imply: alle demmerde ou pou garde ti-baba, si missie-madam travail, alle demmerde zott avec zott parents/beau-parents mem si bann-la oussi travail, nou, nou la ziss pou donne permis, ek checker si ou rapporte enn cas officiellement, parski officiellement, si enn créche/garderie ena permis, tou bizin corek, c’est ou ki prend risque, c’est ou ki responsable officiellement.
Enn travail ki demande quette bébé li extremement demanding en termes patience, sang-froid ek self-control. Eski ena enn moyen check ça au niveau recrutement dans bann créche/garderie? Eski ena enn moyen pou autorité check sa? Eski ena enn volonté pou check sa? Ou-bien nou bann élus zott viv dans enn cocon kott zamé zot pas faire face sa-bann réalités-la, parski zott capav afford enn nounou personnel?

@Mike:
Increase in violence in all forms: verbal, psychological, physical, you name it, it’s there. But who takes action? Our police is like a “tabagie”: they wait and see. If you dare wake them from their slumber, they will first test your will to report by asking all sorts of silly questions before recording your complaint. They make you loose all the precious time you spend in doing your job as a responsible citizen, and tell you to go away in their own particular way. Now, if you’re really (un) lucky, you may get a “compliment” if you move too slowly away from BR22’s “cortège”. Yes sir, the policemen themselves find it normal to yell insults at people. I hope someone can film one of such incidents some day, just for the “fun” of it.

@Torpedo, good you mentioned the social security system from other countries. In the EU there are strict laws regarding children welfare. In Belgium, where I worked, parents have to bring their young babies/children to a centre called ONE (Office National de l’Enfance) at least once a month. These centres check the health of the child, if properly fed, cared for, weight check etc. Files are kept on the child’s progress and if anything wrong is spotted then the social services are alerted for an agent to check conditions at the home. Apart from that you mentioned other benefits like maternity/paternity leave and there is also a grant for births as well as allocations familiales and schooling grants for certain age groups.
I did not understand the minister’s decision about keeping that Crèche open since it was not a legally approved centre. Recruitment and qualified people (puéricultrices et auxiliaires) are also an issue here. Much still to be achieved here in the way of social services.

Putting cameras everywhere (even on roads, and I read somewhere that already 120M has already been harvested from reckless drivers over 14 months at Pailles. Enough money to fit speed cameras everywhere now)does not resolve the core of the problem:
improper planning of infrastructure and living systems (schools, day-care centres, crèches, etc), improper staffing, improper pay, improper conditions, improper performance, improper checking, etc. etc… spiralling into one whole mess we are in. We should start somewhere, anywhere, but very very quickly.

Navin forgets that new child-rearing methods show that their effectiveness was not guaranteed. And this is not excusable at all especially for a doctor that he is, in that if old methods worked, it does not mean that they should be continued else, we should be continuing the widespread use of chloroform or heroin for medicinal ends…
