CELEBRATION OF YOUTH - Child Abuse

Last week, September 19-20, I had the fortunate pleasure to attend a workshop in Antigua with five other Anguillan colleagues. The report I made on that trip and workshop in its entirety can be found in this week’s edition of The Anguillian. I had heard many times about the Rights of the Child but never fully understood it. During the workshop, it was made clear why some would not understand it as the term itself can be quite ambiguous and, surprisingly enough, the USA did not ratify the agreement. Therefore, the USA does not take part in adhering to the demands of the Convention, although it is quite evident that their policies on child abuse are quite exigent.
