Meanwhile, a senior consultant at PAKS-Relationship and Counselling Clinic, Counsellor Paa Kwesi Ortsin, has recommended effective ways to help reintegrate the kids back into society.
According to him, most of the children who went missing are juveniles and have been through a lot, hence, need support.
In his words:
"These kids are juveniles and have gone through a lot. But thank God they have got a short memory span and they easily forget. But they go through post-traumatic syndrome and get emotional scars as a result. They need treatment else they'll live with it."
Counsellor Ortsin who is also a psycho and relationship expert recommended that the kids must undergo screening, profiling, probing, and diagnoses to proffer the required solution for them.
He explained that the screening will involve both medical and physical examinations to ascertain whether or not they have infections while profiling them will help establish their actual names, names of their parents, and the kind of relationship they had with either their parents or guardians.
In his words:
"Probing will involve asking the children if they're willing to return to their guardians while the diagnosis stage will help ascertain the kind of help they need."
According to Counsellor Ortsin, it is at the final stage of the diagnosis that psychologists can regularise the emotions of the missing but found kids by either prescribing psychotherapy or counselling, among others to help reintegrate them back into society.
