Child Protection Agency takes custody of children, police detain parents

Jan 11, 2011 News

The Child Protection Agency of the Ministry of Human Services, with support from the Guyana Police Force swooped down on a house at Free and Easy Village, Wakenaam, on Sunday, and removed four children from the custody of their parents.
Three were left with a relative while the fourth was removed to Georgetown.
Yesterday the mother of one child was detained by the police at Wakenaam. The father had been arrested on Sunday. The parents were asked to report to the police following the raid.
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, among them, the child’s father.
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. That officer at Wakenaam promised to visit but never did so.
A man was charged last year for raping one of the children but was freed after the child refused to testify.
Meanwhile, Human Services Minister, Priya Manickchand, is conducting further investigations into the allegations by the residents.
