A parent from Northern Ireland contacted the helpline with worries about their child. “I separated from my ex-husband a while ago and our son lives with me during the week and stays with his father during the weekends.
“My son told me that his father started to punch him in the stomach when he didn’t do his homework.
“My son is really scared to go back to his father. I was too afraid to report anything at the time as my ex-husband has abused me in the past, but now I feel I have to do something.”
A member of the public from Northern Ireland also contacted the helpline to report concerns about neighbouring children.

In an interview with
Citi Business News, the Public Affairs Manager of COCOBOD, Fiifi Boafo, indicated that “It’s been of concern, a concern in the sense that generally the cocoa market has been saturated and consumption does not seem to be growing as fast as production of cocoa so any new addition in terms of production is a matter of concern because higher production without commensurate consumption will force the price of cocoa downwards.” But in a swift response, the sector minister has allayed the fears by Ghanaians, saying China cannot be a competition to Ghana in exporting cocoa to the international market.
The Ghana COCOBOD says Chinaâs recent export of cocoa raises some concerns for the future of the sector in Ghana.
