A baby girl, 4, has been placed in a place of safety following wrangling between her guardian - the maternal grandmother's younger sister - and grandmother. TheStar_news

Johannesburg - A baby girl, 4, has been placed in a place of safety following wrangling between her guardian - the maternal grandmother's younger sister - and grandmother. The child, whose mother is a former drug addict, was placed in her guardian's custody but the grandmother is opposed to it.

This has led the Gauteng Department of Social Development to remove the child from both families and place her in a place of safety. The parties involved cannot be named to protect the child's identity. The guardian claims the child's removal was unfair and didn't follow legal procedures. She has accused the social development in Lenasia of negligence.

She said a social worker and police came to her house two weeks ago and forcefully took the child without any documents.
