BARBADIAN YOUTH have been admonished by a senior police officer about using cellular phones for “negative things”.
Superintendent of Police Leon Harewood Wednesday told students graduating from a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) programme that while the device made communication easy, it “has its bad sides and it is being used for all kinds of negative things”.
Additionally, the head of the police’s Southern Division explained to the Class 4 students from Gordon Walters, Hilda Skeene and Bayleys primary schools gathered at the Christ Church Resource Centre that they should be cautious in their selection of friends.
“The DARE Programme is to help you at the primary school level to make healthy decisions,” Harewood said. “You are entering a stage in your life where you have to make sensible choices . . . .” (RKM)
