Child Protection Agency removes children from abusive home

Jan 10, 2011 News

The Child Protection Agency of the Ministry of Human Services along with the Guyana Police Force swooped down on a house at Free and Easy Village, Wakenaam Island and removed four children from the custody of their parents.
This newspaper learnt that the move follows reports of sexual abuse against one of the children and that the children were neglected.
When the Officers reached the residence, a group of men was drinking at the bottom flat of the house, and the children’s father was among them.
Three were subsequently left with a relative while the fourth was removed to Georgetown.
Relatives of the children as well as neighbours were happy with the move by the Human Services Ministry.
One resident told this newspaper that she made three reports to the Probation Officer last year at Wakenaam.
The officer promised to visit but never did so, according to the relative.
A man was charged last year for raping one of the children but was freed after the child refused to give testimony against him.
Meanwhile, the Ministry is conducting further investigations into the allegations made by the residents.
