JAMAICA GLEANER: The Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA) says the teen boys seen in a video sexually assaulting a schoolgirl have been charged with several offences including rape, forcible abduction, knowing and producing child pornography and distributing child pornography.
The video, which came to light sometime last week and has been circulated on social media platforms, shows the 13-year-old girl being physically abused, while being sexually assaulted by the boys.
The CPFSA says investigations revealed that the group of male students allegedly lured the schoolgirl to a house, where she was sexually assaulted, and the act was recorded.
It says the girl is to receive a medical assessment today.
The agency says it has intervened in the matter and is currently providing psychological intervention for the teenage girl.
“We were made aware of the video early Saturday morning, on November 23, 2024. Our investigating team located the victim and her family and met with them on Sunday, November 24, 2024, where brief counselling was provided. The child was referred to the Victims Services Division for additional support,” Laurette Adams-Thomas, head of the CPFSA explained.
She said the CPFSA strongly condemns the despicable act that was committed against the girl.
“The levels of violence we continue to see being displayed by our children are of grave concern. Sadly, this also seems to be a reflection of the violence and disrespect towards women and girls that permeate our society. We need to do more now, to protect our children and future. These kinds of maladaptive behaviours in our schools and communities must not be condoned and we must teach our boys that masculinity is not synonymous with abuse,” Adams-Thomas said.
Adams-Thomas further sought to remind and encourage persons to report all forms of child abuse using the 24 hour child abuse reporting hotline 211. She also noted that child abuse reports may be made through WhatsApp/text at 876-878-2882, e-mail [email protected] or by visiting any CPFSA parish office, or through our social media pages (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) @cpfsajm.

The variety of options also allowed me to upon something skilful in the direction of both relaxing evenings and productive days. Once advise in favour of anyone seeking wonderful results!

Those who committed a similar act in Antigua (ages 13 to 17) against a grown woman and at gun point have not been charged because they’re too young. This happened in 2023.
It’s all inclusive in the jamdung posse culture handbook of how to become a gangster from JAM-MURDA-CA

That’s why we don’t want them here. We have enough already. Whether as first lady or coconut vendor these represent the worst of our “ancestors” legacy. Let that primary school graduate, the hopeless aspirant yearning for the City West seat, understand that he, like many of our ancestors, deserves/deserve to be spat and trod upon for their bestiality and criminal acts against our proud and specially created race. He, like the rest of his cave dwellers, the UPP, continues to hope for the days when they go back to normalizing unnecessary social, cultural,
relgious, and political n-fighting in this country. We are proud of Antiguans who have built our country from nothing to something which stands as a beacon to many of our authentic Caribbean brethren. SCUM, too, often rises to the top. We need to understand this, identify it and get rid of it soonest.
Who are our children emulating? When lewdness rules, and is expounded opon the impressionable mindsets of our young people-by the images we project: it is to be expected, as we; the adults, are the ones who are catering to the decadence of society, by not exhibiting modesty in our mannerism, decorum, and responsible stewardship- such as to shepherd and imbue in them the wholesomeness and the sanctity of the mortal flesh; akin to godliness. Our public persona and verbiage begs to be harken back to another dawn, such as not to exibit and normalize carnal craving to satiate every nuance of our needs, without denial for want of not to be excluded from whatever is trending in our space, or cyberspace. We the adults sure do need a copious dose of self introspection, if we expect to be the guiding force that gives traction to a better and brighter future for tomorrow’s children. As it sure do take a village, to raise a child and, arrest the downward spiral of society’s lost souls- even if only one child at a time. Yes! We must: yes, we can.
1. We have not trained our children well. So let’s get it right. Some parents should be charged alongside their children.
2. We have to teach our children to think from an early age . Why would this little girl be alone? Girls must walk with another girl or a mix group . That’s how we grew up.
3. These boys are not children. Sex is an act for adults . They should be charged as adults for such violence. The thought of gang rape is super violent
4. Time to stop this nonsense of respect for women. It should be respect for male and female
5 I cannot emphasize enough that poor parenting is absolutely responsible for societies demise.
6 . Very few see the need to embrace the morals and values of the Bible . It’s an outdated book. So they say . Yet they cry foul when it’s values are disregarded.
I hear the comments of peer pressure. How come peer pressure is only towards bad outcome ?
