Children roaming the streets of New Amsterdam begging for food and money
Dear Editor,
Kindly allow me to share my frustration and sadness about kids roaming the streets of New Amsterdam. While poverty is not bestowed upon any man and some of us are just faced with hardships beyond our control, no child should ever have to be on the streets begging for 200 Guyana dollars to buy food.
Where are the parents? While I understand circumstances allowed these so-called parents to become parents, these kids need help. Only the Almighty knows if they attend school and, in my opinion, education is a must for all! The Child Protection Agency, in collaboration with the Guyana Police Force, must act swiftly not to separate these children from their parents, but ensure they are attending school and are taken care of! It is time we stop this type of behaviour in New Amsterdam!
