\u201cWe walked around the school calling out his name but he did not respond. I was scared and confused and didn\u2019t know where else I would look for him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She said the worker came running in their direction but hesitated momentarily when he saw her with the teachers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted to stop running and panicked then slowed down and got into a walking stride before asking us what was wrong. The teacher told him that we were looking for a missing boy. He offered to help us find him, saying that my son was probably asleep in one of the classrooms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went to one classroom and unlocked it. It was strange that my son came out immediately \u2013 not like someone who was asleep \u2013 but like someone who had been up and was waiting for the door to be opened. I didn\u2019t pay much attention to it because I was happy to have found him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Police spokesperson Capt Ramothaki Maqwabe confirmed that a rape case was being investigated but said no arrests had been made.<\/p>\n
The mother said her son acted strangely after being found and was not as jovial as usual.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis eyes were red as if he was crying and when we stepped into the vehicle I noticed a smell emanating from him. As if he didn\u2019t wipe himself properly after using the toilet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The mother said she was horrified when she took off his clothes and found blood stains and semen on his underwear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked and horrified. I was on the floor when my senses returned to me. I couldn\u2019t believe what I was seeing. I asked my son what happened and he told me that the general worker had sexual intercourse with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said this was when I was looking for him and that he beat him and threatened to kill him if he responded to my calls,\u201d said the mother.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
