Yet so much effort is not spent on finding sex offenders who actually offend and those offenders are finding cloud cover under all this mass hysteria created by so called child rights activists and concerned Christians. Sensible folks do not fan these flames but instead look out and are vigilant where they ought to be. And to think other societal ills as I pointed out in my last podcast do not get the kind of hype and attention but touch homosexuality and they are all out in sheer paranoia.
Given what we now know of the last reproductive health survey and that many school goers surveyed in the schools targeted many female students have had up to two partners within the last year or up to 54.8% of those who were polled and remember anal sex is not only practised by homosexual men but also heterosexual couples and teens with older men who use this method as a contraceptive to avoid pregnancy while not implicating the male partner as a homosexual.
Now the Gleaner just is enjoying the ride with the their sad descent into tabloid journalism Cops Check For Charges - JFJ And Operators Of Children's Homes Under Investigation where it read in part:
"Criminal charges could be laid against officials of human-rights group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) and the operators of six private children's homes in the aftermath of the implementation of a controversial sex education course.
The Police High Command has announced that it is currently carrying out investigations, and noted attorney-at-law Bert Samuels believes both parties could be charged.
"The person liable is established not only by the principal, but persons who are specific principal offenders," explained Samuels.
"So it could be that the persons who gave the material could face criminal liability, and those who distribute it - or cause it to be given - could themselves also be held liable."
Last Friday, the police issued a media release in which it sought to assure the public that the matter, which has sparked public outcry, has not gone unnoticed.
"The Police High Command is, therefore, advising members of the public that an investigation has been launched into the matter, but it remains at a sensitive stage, and given the nature of the allegations, not much can be said at this time.
"The police can also confirm that they are looking into breaches of the Child Care and Protection Act and the Offences Against the Person Act."
The controversial sexual education programme was undertaken without the relevant ministries or the regulatory body for childcare facilities, the Child Development Agency (CDA), being informed.
This was in contravention of regulation 15(1) and 15(2) of the Child Care and Protection (Children's Home) regulations 2007, which makes provisions for all licensees operating children's homes to seek approval for their educational curricula from the ministry with responsibility for children if there is any deviation from the approved curriculum.
The training programme 'Realising Sexual and Reproductive Health Responsibly: JFJ's Pilot Intervention in Children's Homes' was held at the Alpha Boys' Home, St John Bosco, Jamaica National Children's Home, Sunbeam Children's Home for Boys, Elsie Bemand Home for Girls, and Best Care Foundation.
Preliminary investigations by the CDA have found that 135 children across the six childcare facilities participated in the course.
MAJORITY UNDER 16
The majority of the participants were below the age of 16, with the group including one child aged 11 years old, a 12-year-old, and 10 children who were 13.
The youngsters were exposed to modules that dealt with the normalisation of oral sex, anal sex and homosexuality.
But with buggery still illegal in Jamaica, the teachings could be deemed to be in contravention of Sections 76 and 79 of the Offences Against the Person Act, and Samuels believes there is definitely a case for persons to answer to.
"Anal sex is described as buggery, and you cannot consent to an act of buggery under our current laws," Samuels shared. "You are dealing with minors, and if you incite or encourage a minor to engage in criminal conduct, that is definitely punishable under the Child Care and Protection Act."
Samuels added: "Teaching minors about healthy sex is admissible, however, because the sexual activity they are describing is not permitted with or without consent, whether or not you are an adult. It is a criminal offence to encourage or to tell a child that it is his right to break the criminal code of Jamaica."
ENDS
the pages in the instructor's version of the manual that mentioned buggery and that anal sex is actually illegal
Yet no one can find the actual page of sentences that do incite or instruct or imply the cohort are to practice anal sex but are quick to make judgements without the actual material and locating the offending sections.
I guess JFJ is made to pay the price for their advocacy over the years in embarrassing successive administrations on their record of childcare especially in state run institutions and this faux pas on their part has created the perfect opportunity for the crows to pounce; not to mention the churches who are riding high for now on their campaign driving a wedge in society in God's name.
Sad times
Peace and tolerance
