Growing Support for Holding Parents Accountable for Children’s Violent Actions
The Attorney General, Sir Steadroy Benjamin, plans to introduce new legislation in parliament soon, with consultations to follow for input from parents and stakeholders.
“We gather feedback from the public during consultations to determine a reasonable punishment,” said the AG.
Director of Education Clare Browne supports the plan, stressing the need for thorough groundwork and stakeholder feedback before implementation.
This approach aims for inclusive decision-making, considering all concerns and reaching a consensus.
Browne highlights the importance of supporting parents through programs like Positive Behavior Management and counseling.
He also praised Colonel Trevor Pennyfeather’s efforts in prison management and rehabilitation, discussing potential education assistance.
Bishop Charlesworth Browne previously endorsed the bill, citing its potential as a deterrent for parental accountability.
The proposed measure seeks to send a clear message about parental responsibility for their children’s actions.

The government is responsible also you can’t blame one without the other.
When it’s good the ABLP wants the credit when it’s bad they cast blame. That’s the first indicator of poor leadership skills
If your old enough to do the crime by premeditation then you’re old enough to do the time.
This looks and sound like West indies Oil Company. Something similar may be our eventual solution.
Federal prosecutors sued to seize two New York City apartments worth $14 million that were allegedly bought with proceeds from a corrupt scheme involving Mongolia’s huge copper mine, a former prime minister of that nation, and his son.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn details a total of $128 million in allegedly unlawful contracts granted by a Mongolian state-owned mining company to shell companies, which benefited then Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold and his family, including his oldest son.
