THE police are not saying if they have started investigations into the case of a young male child gyrating on an adult female on Grand Kadooment Day along Bank Hall Main Road, St Michael, as circulated in the media.

But Criminal Investigation Department head Superintendent Livingstone Eversley pointed out that the force, like most Barbadians, was worried about the incident.

“We are not only concerned about this, but with the whole issue of lewd behaviour you see from time to time,” Eversley stated.

When asked what possible charges could be laid against those responsible, he said evidence would first have to be gathered before police could determine such.

“There are various pieces of legislation dealing with issues affecting children, but you can’t say at this stage [what charges could be brought].”

Posted by Frank Husbands 9 months ago: If and when the police find a charge they then depend on the courts to find a conviction.This whole thing is going down a very dangerous road.Next you going have someone charge for dancing like Michael Jackson grabbing their crotch ? I don't see any charge sticking with this as many people will have to be arrested for their photographed lewd behavior Kadooment day.Also the people and businesses that reproduce said pictures will need to be charged also.
We in Barbados have not the faintest idea what freedom is.Freedom is a very serious thing.Freedom of association,freedom of the arts.The question here is what is wrong with a mother dancing with her son at a cultural event the way the locals customarily perform at such event and have been doing so from the days of slavery?
