The recent allegations against a teacher of the Bishops’ High School, who is accused of sexually grooming and preying on students, present an opportunity for Guyana to improve the system of dealing with sexual abuse of children, according to social and public policy specialist Roxanne Myers.
“We have had some gruesome cases from Leonard Archibald [the teenager who was killed in Berbice after allegedly being raped] to the child involving the City Constable and so we have all those cases before us… and I think it really offers us an opportunity to say, ‘Guyana you have to fix this issue’,” Myers told Sunday Stabroek in a recently interview, where she called for steps to be taken to ensure that the system works in the best interest of children.
According to Myers, Guyana is going to come in for a lot of flak when it comes up before the international community on how the country has been treating the sexual abuse of children.
