Unruly parents put a damp on Prince & Princess Show
According to persons close to the disturbance, the problem among a few patrons allegedly stemmed from a shoving incident between two parents and a third parent reportedly stepped in. According to information received, one parent allegedly had a problem with the children of the other who she felt were traversing past her too often. It was further reported that the parent decided to pull her chair in a position to prevent the children from passing.
This news site was informed that on conclusion of the final segment, one parent attempted to pass the one that had reportedly blocked the passageway, when she was allegedly shoved. This allegedly resulted in an angry disturbance that saw other patrons stepping in to avoid the situation from escalating. It is alleged that during the attempt to pass, a child was also hit by one of the parents.
The situation subsequently escalated and drew the attention of the full auditorium when a sibling of one of the parents involved stepped up to the other parent but the two were quickly pulled apart. The sibling allegedly insisted on prolonging the disorderly behaviour.
As a local artiste was entertaining the audience following the conclusion of the final segment, the Evening Wear, there was a sudden outburst which saw a large group rushing from the inside of the hall to the lobby area. Upon investigating, it was discovered that several persons were having an up-hill task of trying to contain the sibling, who was allegedly also the parent of one of the contestants.
Persons were seen holding on to the woman, one even covering her mouth, when two RVIPF officers stepped in to restore order. Meanwhile the direct parties involved were calm as they were kept at bay from each other by the police and other parents.
Shortly after, the angry parent of one of the contestants was seen rushing back-stage with a male RVIPF officer closely following. “Man this is a children thing, it seems like somebody get she vex because of something with her child that participating but I can’t say what it is but that’s no way for a parent to behave in a function for children,” said an onlooker.
The parent’s show of anger was further obvious when she burst on and off the stage as parents were called to collect gifts that were distributed to them by Hon. Maduro-Caines in recognition of their hard work towards making the show the success it was.
The unruly behaviour by the persons involved was also heavily condemned by Chairperson of the Prince and Princess Show, Honourable Alvera Maduro-Caines. She told Virgin Islands News Online that she too was at a loss about what may have caused the disturbance. “I don’t know what the problem was but I think such a behavior was totally uncalled for. As parents we have to set an example and to create such a stir in the presence of all these children here was totally uncalled for. We cannot accept such a behavior. I totally condemn that behaviour,” said Hon Maduro-Caines.
