The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is issuing a firm warning following reports of schoolchildren deliberately sitting in the middle of roadways as a dare or challenge to oncoming motorists.
Let us be clear: this behaviour is reckless, it is dangerous, and it will not be tolerated.
A child sitting in the path of a moving vehicle is one moment away from tragedy. A driver who is forced to swerve or brake suddenly may lose control, putting the child, the driver, passengers, pedestrians and other road users at grave risk of serious injury or death. No trend, no dare and no social media video is worth a life.
