Take Akuapem Poloo's son from her-Social Workers to Social Welfare

The Social Workers Association of Ghana (SWAG) has called on the Department of Social Welfare, to as a matter of urgency take full custody of Akuapem Poloo’s son by finding alternative care and protection for the child.
This comes after the actress posted nude photos of herself and the boy on social media to celebrate the boy on his birthday.
“We recommend for immediate removal of the child from Akuapem Poloo to safe guard the child from further danger. We plead with the Department of Social Welfare, as a matter of urgency to find Alternative Care and Protection for the child in-question,” SWAG said.
SWAG also opined that Akuapem Poloo should be compelled by law to undergo Psychological Diagnoses and Treatment and as well undergo Training in Parenting for her own good and in the interest of her son and society.
In a press statement, SWAG condemned such behaviour by Akuapem Poloo and called on all stakeholders to condemn such indecent act.
“SWAG as a body, wishes to call for the involvement of all stakeholders to ensure the protection and promotion of the vulnerable especially children who are in need of care and protection,” SWAG stated.
SWAG noted that, “The Children’s Act 560 of 1998 provides for maximum protection of children in need of care and protection.”
However, it stated that Akuapem Poloo’s behaviour is unwarranted and infringes on the rights of all children.
“Her illicit and indecent exposure in front of her own son is a clear sexual, moral and emotional abuse of the child’s right which may remain in the minds of the child for a long time if not treated can hunt the child for the rest of his life,” SWAG stated.
SWAG added that, “Such irresponsible behaviour on her part contravenes the rights of the child and put not only her child but other children into psychological and sexual abuse. One cannot tell for how long such irresponsible behaviour is being meted out to her child.”
Meanwhile, Akuapem Poloo went under massive criticism after posting that photo of her nude self and that of his son with a long caption.
After the post, Child Rights International petitioned CID over the said photo, after which CID invited Akuapem Poloo.
Meanwhile, she is yet to honour the invitation after two days.
