Boy, four, allegedly sexually assaulted

Jul 06, 2013 News

 
-perpetrators aged 9, 13, said to be part of gang in crime-ridden community

A young mother is seeking justice for her four-year-old son, who was reportedly sexually assaulted by two other boys who are members of a juvenile gang that is located in a crime-ridden community.
She said that the child was molested on Thursday by two boys, aged nine and 13, after he was lured into a house a short distance from his home.
The victim’s mother said that police detained the culprits but released the elder boy, who is reportedly the main perpetrator. She alleged that relatives of this boy are now threatening her.
She said that around 14:00 hrs on Thursday, her son went to a nearby community to play with other children. The mother said that a girl in the group was about to give the child some coconut water when she realised that he was missing.
The girl then went to a house in the area and reportedly saw two older boys sexually assaulting the four-year-old. According to the woman, the girl immediately called an uncle and also contacted her.
Kaieteur News was told that the culprits were taken into a yard and questioned, and they immediately began accusing each other. The mother said it was also revealed that the boys had given her son “cigarettes and black sage” to smoke before forcing themselves on him.
The woman said that she made a report at the East La Penitence Police Station, and the two boys were taken into custody. She was then sent to the Brickdam Police Station, but a rank there informed her that her son wound not undergo a medical examination until the following day.  According to the mother, after he was medically examined yesterday, a female rank told her that the doctor found no evidence of sexual penetration. She claimed that the rank said “as long as nothing happen to your child you don’t have to worry.”
But the young mother alleged that the mother and a sister of the 13-year-old boy stood outside her home around 07:00 hrs yesterday and threatened to kill her. The woman said she has told police about the threats, but she is concerned that she may not get justice since police have released the 13-year-old boy.
The woman and other relatives alleged that the two young men are constantly picked up by the police, since they are part of a gang of juveniles who prey on residents in their community and even in Georgetown. According to the residents, none of the gang members is older than 13.
