Abuse of any kind can impact the well-being of a child. Today, we take look at the short term, psychological and long term effects physical abuse can have on a child. Let's all continue to work hand in hand to ensure physical abuse and all other forms of child abuse are a thing of the past. ... See MoreSee Less

Good day, I would like to know if it is alright for members of the public to be posting and sharing the image of the student who was allegedly involved in a school fight in Cedros this week? The public is outraged, and naturally they should be as bullying should not be condoned under any circumstances. However, I am seeing lots of posts with the most vile comments about this young lady, and I am not seeing or hearing anything from the Children's Authority on this matter in defence of this supposedly misguided young lady. I recalled a few weeks ago a young lady who allegedly ran away from home and was filmed during the rescue mission by HSRT was frowned upon by the CA and the TTPS, rightfully so. However, I am not seeing a similar response from either the CA or TTPS on this occasion, and it has me a bit concerned. I tried reaching out to CA via your hotlines and was unsuccessful; hence, I am using this medium. This is one such example of what I am referring to. www.facebook.com/reel/1165317499511308
Stop the LIES, multiple reports and you'll DONT follow up, CAN'T you'll see the public STOP getting involved, LESS WORK FOR YOU'LL, HEARTLESS PEOPLE 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Children continue to face consequences of their parents actions. Intervention needs to be done on the parents not the children.
as i say just another dinner party with no clear direction, relevant or meaningful intervention
