Philipsburg: --- The police department is calling on parents living in the Union Farm area to pay attention to what their under aged children are doing. Police Spokesman Johan Janchi Leonard said about three months now police are not able to go Barrio Blanco Area in Union Farm. He said there have been a number of under aged children who would begin throwing rocks at the police they minute they see the vehicle approaching.
Leonard said police has to always call for reinforcement when entering Union Farm since the police is now becoming fearful of the outcome. Leonard said most of the children committing the acts range between 9 to 15 years of age and they seem to be coming from foreign background. ‘These children are living in the housing complex area and the way I see it it’s a number of children who may not be residing on the island legally attacking police.”
Leonard said already damage was done to police cars and they are going to be holding the parents of these children responsible for their children’s action. The police spokesman called on parents to be vigilante especially during the summer vacation since most of these children are home or on the street corners doing nothing. He said this is the age when children get into gangs and parents needs to monitor their children more carefully.
