The 13-year-boy at the centre of the scandal that recently rocked the Berbice Anjuman Orphanage in New Amsterdam, is not in protective custody where he is supposed to be. He was found wandering the streets, smoking and doing other illicit activities.
A source stated that the boy should have been in protective custody pending the conclusion of the matter.
On one occasion he was found sleeping in a car around 01:00 hrs. The operators of the orphanage, who have gone to great lengths to prove their innocence of the charge of sodomising the young boy and other charges of abuse, have expressed great shock at the latest turn of developments.
The Principals of the Orphanage have expressed disgust that the lad is being allowed to roam the streets. They are concerned that the name of the Orphanage might be tarnished further if anything becomes of him.
They want the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security to honour its obligation and launch an immediate investigation to ascertain why the boy is not in protective custody.
Contacted for a comment acting Head of the Child Protection agency Ms Gaime stated, that the boy was released into the custody of his mother and should have been in her care. She promised to investigate the report to determine why he is being allowed to roam.
However, a source knowledgeable in such matters stated that since the lad and his sister were taken away from their mother due to her unsuitable state, he should not have been returned to her custody without the Agency first determining her suitability. He should have been placed in protective custody.
After the boy accused people at the orphanage of sodomising him, investigations by both the police and Child Protection Agency, proved that most of the allegations were not true. According to documentation the five boys have denied that anything ever happened to them. Medical examinations proved that they were never harmed.
However, one man has been charged and placed before the court.
