The ordeal prompted the grandmother and other well wishers to institute a search for the missing child.<\/p>\n<p>The matter was reported to Soche Police who have since commenced investigations into the matter and trace the culprit. Police are therefore advising the public to always make sure that children are protected from any possible danger and harm. It is also advised to desist from the tendency of leaving children in care of fellow children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
