The Jamaica Government says it is investigating reports that students are being exposed to sex by Hurricane Melissa victims who are still sheltering in some schools.
Jamaica’s Education Minister Dana Morris Dixon said the allegations are of such gravity that they must be treated with utmost urgency and specificity.
“Any allegation of inappropriate behaviour in a shelter environment, particularly where children may be affected, is a matter of the greatest seriousness,” the minister stated. “I was shocked to hear the public allegation from [Dr Mark] Malabver [President of the Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA)] for the first time by way of a public address. I hope he made formal reports to all relevant authorities before doing so.”
