Why isn’t there a protest for this one-year-old?

Feb 21, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I write to you with grave concerns over the daily headlines regarding this one year old child of Magistrate Geeta- Chandan Edmond. I am in no way affiliated with the parents of this child as I don’t know them, as their identity is besides the issues I am hoping to highlight.
The ultimate horror in all this, is watching people standing with placards protesting for the release of a woman who BATTERRED a one year old. How can this be?? what about this innocent one year old with all these injuries?
The people who protest for this woman should be ashamed. Are they even mothers? Do they know what it is like to have someone beat their babies? Where are the bodies that are supposed to be child protectors and speaking out against child abuse. I share the absolute sentiment of every mother who says that this woman ought to be punished more than that five-year sentence for this crime. The parents of this child should seek to make her an example because they have the rightful authority in seeing this is done. I would expect nothing less from them.
What is worse in this scenario, beating a thief and then putting him in jail, or assaulting a woman who could have killed my innocent one year old?
I say this to everyone, including all the different organisations and bodies involved in children’s rights and protection “STAND UP AND LET GUYANA REALLY SEE WHAT YOU OUGHT TO DO, PROTECT AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THESE HENIOUS CRIMES AGAINST OUR CHILDREN”. Send this woman to jail and make her an example, we will have much less abused children.
