At the doctor's home near Newport the offending words that she found daubed on her front door have been removed, but some paint remains. Vandals sprayed the house after confusing her job title with the word paedophile. The doctor is now staying with friends temporarily and has no plans to return. As a happy coincidence she is moving away from the area - and I don't think this will be anything to make her regret that decision. It is really quite staggering that this kind of mistake can happen.
Some people are incredibly ignorant.
She has worked with us for about two and a half years and you could not meet a nicer person. These people should think long and hard about what they have done to a valuable member of the community who has devoted her life to helping children. We are concerned that some people in the local community have taken it upon themselves to take these totally inaccurate and inappropriate actions. Every effort is being made to trace the perpetrators and we would urge them to think about the consequences of their actions. Doctor Cloete was unavailable for comment but it is thought that she already decided to move home before the attack.
