Abused mother and kids find safe haven

May 15, 2012 News

 

 

The Number Four Village, West Coast Berbice, mother and her four children have finally found a safe haven. They are now at the Camal International Home for Battered Women and Homeless Children located at Albion Front, Corentyne. They entered the safe haven over the weekend.
Avon De Cunha and her four children were given enough money by the concerned neighbour and placed in a minibus over the weekend, for Albion. Her husband had been behaving very badly on Friday night and was arrested by the West Berbice police, though it is believed that his incarceration– as in previous times– would be short and he would be out again.
Head of the home, Mrs Carmen Kissoon, said that she welcomed the battered woman and her children. She said that she did not ask De Cunha any questions. There is a usual 24- hour “cool-down” period, during which the new occupants of the home get settled in and adjust to their new environment.
She noted that she will begin to question De Cunha after the “cool- down” period and would make contact with the Child Care and Welfare Services in New Amsterdam to get advice on how to proceed with the matter.
Kissoon said that she would welcome the father of the children to talk and even get counseled and her doors are always opened.
However, she said, that will be a decision the welfare services will have to make and she awaits their advice. For now, though, the young mother and her children have found a safe, healthy, caring and peaceful environment in which they can be at peace without any fear.
