I agree that the Police’s rebuff was impolitic and clumsily delivered- however their intended point that the parents lacked parental control still holds true.

I’ll support you here, Again I say, irregardless of her being a “problem” child, the police had a right to investigate the matter, or rather, responded more appropriately to the parent’s concern of his missing child.

And yes, the reporter who followed up on this story had a duty to gave more depth to this story.

Teenage problems and they acting out will always be with us. However, too many bad things are happening and with increasing frequency to our girl children and women and as opinion makers and shapers the media, particularly SN owe it to its readers to put some of these ills into perspective so that we, as a people can progress.

They can only report what is told to them either by the police or the family…

I believe Stabroek News owes its readers more details surrounding the return of this child.
