Security both inside and outside a children s home has been increased following the escape of five boys in March – with two of them being murdered while on the run.
Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Ayanna Webster-Roy said since the March 20 escape, the children’s home has increased security manpower, with increased internal and perimeter monitoring and increased the internal security infrastructure.
Webster-Roy, in response to e-mailed questions, said to further prevent such instances, the Children’s Authority under whose care the home falls, met with an inter-agency task force to discuss “alternative ways to exercise supervision and behaviour management of children in need of supervision (CHiNS).”
