According to the report, the children’s grandmother had reported when she visited them on December 22, that her grandson had trusted him over the matter.
The woman immediately contacted the Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA) and a report was made. The agency visited the home and the children were rescued. They both linked the matter to the police and the Childcare Officer in the presence of their grandmother. Both children were medically examined and proved to be sexually abusive.
The suspect, who was away at the time, was later apprehended by police and told of the allegations. He was arrested and transported to La Parfaite Harmonie Police Station, West Bank Demerara. The police have since launched an investigation into the matter.
Speaking to this announcement, CPA Director Anne Greene revealed that the agency is currently involved. She said she understands that children have been living with their father for some time. The agency is currently trying to contact their mother who is in the hinterland.
The Director stated that both children had been examined and were currently in the care of the agency. Greene stressed that the children were safe. He added that the agency is working with Guyana Police to ensure the man is charged.
