Property grabbing arising out of intestate succession is one of the commonest problem experienced in cases where the deceased persons relatives take it upon themselves to share property without following the law on devolution of such estate. Domestic Violence is another. This is violence emanating from husbands battering their wives mercilessly. This habit is also checked by the unit and most cases brought to their attention received favourable responses. Child abuse in any form is not spared by the Victim Support Unit and many parents have been picked up in connection with the ill treatment of their children.
Child abuse can arise out of denying children food or can be in any form of ill treatment.
This can involve parents and relatives looking after a child. Thus the unit holds the hope of every citizen and it will continue, hopefully to play its role in a conducive atmosphere, which requires assistance from the public. We should praise the Police Victim Support Unit but also be aware of complacency.
