KINGSTON, Jamaica—Director of children’s lobby group Hear The Children’s Cry (HTCC) Nigel Cooper, has declared Jamaica a “national threat” to its own children.
The University of Technology lecturer is calling for radical action to protect the nation’s most vulnerable citizens.
Cooper made the call against the background of the suspected rape and brutal murder of 10-year-old Shani Coke in Trelawny earlier this week. The partially nude body of the Troy Primary School student was found with the throat slashed in Tyre district in the parish on Tuesday.
