A Santa Cruz woman whose 10-month-old daughter was sexually assaulted at a Port-of-Spain day care centre on Thursday was yesterday crying out for justice and is calling on the police to speed up their investigation in the interest of protecting innocent children.
The woman said she regrets leaving her baby at the day care centre, which had been recommended to her by a friend and, therefore, she did no background checks on the facility.
She said a week ago she took her baby to the day care centre and was introduced to the owner who told her three sitters worked on shift caring for three other babies.
The woman said she was told that the fee was $60 a day and $580 per month. “On Thursday, at about 10 am, I took my daughter to the day care centre. When I arrived there later at about 3.30 pm one of the sitters gave the baby to me but I noticed that she was irritable and not her normal self but I paid no heed to it and thought that maybe she was hungry,” said the woman.
“However, when I arrived at home and proceeded to change the diaper I discovered that the vagina of my baby was reddish and swollen and this raised alarm bells causing me to rush my child to the Santa Cruz Health Centre where a doctor confirmed that my baby was in fact sexually assaulted.”
She said that it was horrifying to learn that a baby could be subjected to sexual abuse and was advised to make a report to the Central Police Station in Port-of-Spain, which she did. According to the woman, the police advised her not to make any contact with the day care centre since it was now a police investigation.
However, the woman said she never thought someone would abuse her daughter and advised other mothers to conduct background checks before taking their babies to day care centres.
“I cannot live a normal life anymore because I keep thinking of what my innocent child may have been forced to endure but I know one thing for certain that I will not rest until the perpetrator of this evil act is brought to justice,” said the woman. She said her daughter has been continuously crying and appears to be withdrawn.
Newsday understands that a district medical officer has been assigned to carry out another examination of the baby which is expected to take place today.
Police were expected to visit the day care centre yesterday to interview staff. Sources indicated the centre remained open.
Yesterday, a source at the Ministry of Social Development said Government intends to put legislation in place to protect children at day care centres and they also expressed concern about the failure of some centres to conduct proper background checks on persons employed as sitters.
