|||Durban - The mother of the Newlands baby boy who was allegedly assaulted and choked by his father has thanked Daily News readers for their generosity.
A pile of goods from readers was delivered on Wednesday.
“I want to thank them for everything,” she said.
Her baby son was left with a fractured arm among his injuries after the alleged assault. The father is also claimed to have kept his family captive for seven years.
A cast was removed from the now three-month-old child on Wednesday, and he was said to be recovering well.
The woman’s six-year-old daughter has enrolled at a school and has been attending classes for two weeks.
“She’s very happy and gets ready so early,” said a relative they are staying with.
The mother has not gone back to the Newlands house where her husband is living to get their ID documents.
“The police must go back, I won’t go back home,” she said.
Although she was still traumatised, her two nieces were keeping her in good spirits.
“They are just making me laugh all the time,” she said.
Community members have also rallied round, bringing things for the little boy.
