Bajans urged to report child abuse

Barbadians are being urged to change their hands-off approach when it comes to reporting cases of child abuse or their suspicions of abuse to “protect our children”.

Minister of Home Affairs, Public Information and Broadcasting Wilfred Abrahams made the appeal in the House of Assembly on Tuesday during debate on a resolution to adopt the Report of the Joint Select Committee (Standing) on Social Sector and the Environment on the Child Protection Bill, 2023 and the Child Justice Bill, 2023.
