SDD decorates portion of dual carriageway median for Child Abuse Awareness Month
The presentation is entitled ‘Pinwheels for Prevention.’ It is unclear if the pinwheels blowing in the wind were made by children who suffered abuse.
However, the pinwheels in bright colours sure did get most motorists and pedestrians’ attention, as they are not only radiant, but the message is serious.
After the Hurricanes
It is unclear what are the statistics for Child Abuse in the British Overseas Territory of the Virgin Islands, and if there has been a spike following Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September 2017 that placed many families in unstable situations.
The challenges of the killer storms have been most hard on families and forced many children to either live with other family members, or in some cases neighbours, or migrate.
We trust that the message gets through and people understand that we all have a role in preventing Child Abuse, not only in April, but twelve months of the year. We also have a responsibility to report it to the authorities.

Let me tell you about child abuse. When everything economical that could be done is done, and no food to eat in the home. You go to them just to help get some corn beef and bread to help put something on the table, and the insults this department put you through, you prefer dead for hungry and wet the children mouth with lil sugar water than go to them for anything. That is child abuse too. Come on SDD, up your game, do what you suppose to be doing to help people.
The entire department needs investigating. Only when this child abuse month comes they show themselves. They spread your business and do nothing when they should be dealing with abuse instead of running their mouth trying to sound like they care. Clueless set of people
