Lewd acts of children being encouraged to gyrate on adults on the road for Kadooment Day have been deemed child abuse by the National Organization of Women (NOW).
President Marilyn Rice-Bowen said they frown on this type of behaviour, adding there was no room for it in mas.
Rice-Bowen said her organization was throwing its full support behind the Child Care Board, which has forwarded the picture of a young boy dancing on an adult female on the road on Kadooment Day to the police.
The photograph was published in last week’s SATURDAY SUN, and posted on the social media site Facebook. (CM)
