One day after Shannon Miller appeared before the Scarborough Magistrates’ Court on murder charges linked to the disappearance of his two-year-old stepson, Angelo Tobias-Plaza, the Tobago House of Assembly is sending a clear message about the collective responsibility to safeguard children.

Little Angelo was reported missing on May 11th from his home in Goodwood, sparking a massive search on land and sea, but his body was never found.

The circumstances of the case raised many questions, deeply impacting citizens, and on Wednesday, all members of the Assembly Legislature issued statements regarding the need to rethink how society views the protection of children.
