Children’s Advocate cites recent tragedies as signal for implementing more child safety measures

Children’s Advocate Diahann Gordon-Harrison says the recent tragedies involving children signal that additional measures are needed to keep them safe.

In the past week, three children died in separate tragic incidents in Hanover and Kingston.

They are 13-year-old Twaine Skyers, 18-year-old Jada Pollard and 2 year old Tajaun Jackson.

Twaine is suspected to have committed suicide at his home in Lilliput St. James last Thursday.

Yesterday morning, Jada was shot and killed during a suspected burglary at her home in St. Andrew.
