Children’s Advocate Says Youth are Affected by
Children’s Advocate, Diahann Gordon-Harrison, says Jamaican children are affected by violence of all types, as both victims and perpetrators.
“Children see violence in the home, in the community and in the school. It is in the local and international media, and it is in the way we exchange one to another, and in the way we go about our daily lives,” she said.
Mrs. Gordon-Harrison was addressing the First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union annual parenting session, on May 27, at the Knutsford Court Hotel, which was being held under the theme: ‘A Nation On A Mission…Parents In Action’.
