Vincentians are urged to ensure their children’s safety before Christmas shopping.
Corporal Andrews of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force gave this advice on WEFM’s Activated Mornings.
Corporal Andrews advised parents and guardians to avoid having children supervise their kids and to choose adults carefully.
“We all want to go shopping, but we have to make sure our kids are safe; they’re our future, and we take things for granted.”
Andrews urged parents to leave young children with a responsible adult instead of a child.
“I am speaking of a trustworthy adult, because in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we know that there are a lot of persons who go under the bracket of great guardians, protective guardians, but they’re really not; they are preying on our children. “So at the same time that you want to enjoy the festive season, we have to look out for our children,” Corporal Andrews said.
