Far­ley Au­gus­tine has called for ac­count­abil­i­ty and a thor­ough in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the dis­ap­pear­ance of two-year-old An­ge­lo To­bias-Plaza, who was re­port­ed miss­ing on Mon­day last week, say­ing To­ba­go is “hurt­ing” as the child re­mains miss­ing.

In a so­cial me­dia post, Au­gus­tine said he had been strug­gling “to be diplo­mat­ic” fol­low­ing pub­lic com­ments he made on Thurs­day, adding that the case had shak­en To­ba­go “to its core.”

“The dis­ap­pear­ance of two-year-old An­ge­lo To­bias-Plaza of Good­wood has shak­en this is­land to its core. Every moth­er, every fa­ther, every grand­par­ent and every de­cent cit­i­zen feels the weight of this tragedy,” Au­gus­tine wrote.
