In light of the recent violent attacks among young people, the Police Administration is calling upon parents to shoulder their responsibilities and get more involved in the supervision of their children.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The administration is of the firm view that the recent upsurge of violent behavior among young people is a result of some parents failing to provide proper support and nurturing to their child\\children.<\/p>\n

This lack of involvement on the part of some parents in the lives of our youths is reprehensible, and should no longer be tolerated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In an effort to have the matter properly addressed, the police will be collaborating with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders; including some of the parents to assist our youths in fulfilling their potential to become positive citizens in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Members of the public are also asked to get involved and report any suspicious gatherings or disorderly behavior among young people to the police without delay.<\/p>\n

The police will be expecting the full cooperation of everyone going forward.<\/p>
