TTPS Urges Public To Remove Video Identifying Missing Child

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is aware of a video circulating on social media in which a minor, previously reported missing, is shown at the time she was located in the company of an adult.

The TTPS acknowledges the commitment of community organisations, including the Hunters Search and Rescue team, in assisting with the search for missing persons. However, the Service is deeply concerned that the video identifies a child in circumstances that may form part of a police investigation.

Images of missing children are shared with the public for one purpose only: to help locate them. Once a child is found, that purpose ends.
