The Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) made the disclosure during the police's "Force for Food" Podcast yesterday. Quality Assurance Officer, Inspector Cherise Johnson noted that victims include children as young as 10 years old.
As such he stressed that no single organization can resolve the issue alone. He was speaking yesterday at the candlelight vigil in memory of children who died under violent circumstances. The event was held at the Secret Garden in Downtown Kingston.
This is the fourth protest in two weeks, as residents escalate concerns over deteriorating infrastructure, along with ongoing issues of inadequate water and electricity supply. The protest caused major disruptions, with commuters forced to seek alternative routes.
Despite improving its arrest rate over the past year, the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) says victims' unwillingness to speak about their traumas due to stigma remains a key challenge in solving complex cases.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Debbia Jennings made the remark during the Jamaica Constabulary Force's "Force for Good" podcast yesterday.
Children's Advocate Diahann Gordon Harrison says the tragic death of a 2- year -old girl who was mowed down in Clarendon on Saturday is a sad start to Child Month.
Police say young Kimberly Burrell of Rules Pen in May Pen, Clarendon was accidentally run over by a relative who was learning to drive.
