CHILDREN AS YOUNG as four years old are engaging in minor on minor sex acts while other youngsters are watching pornography or being introduced to kissing and fondling.

The revelation comes from a senior child care officer at the Child Care Board (CCB) as children, their parents, members of the community and child activists took to the streets of Bridgetown to highlight issues relating to children yesterday.

Roxanne Sanderson-Weekes, the board’s senior child care officer, flagged the new trend, which she said the board had been seeing recently.

Speaking at the third annual Child Protection March, Sanderson-Weekes said while the CCB was concerned about all issues relating to sexual abuse, it was extremely concerned about an increase in sexual abuse by minors on minors.
