Pay attention to what children do outside the home — Grant

ST JAMES, Jamaica (JIS) — Acting Commissioner of Police (ACP), Novelette Grant, is calling on parents to be more attentive to what their children do outside the home.

Grant, who was speaking at a community forum on violence at Sandals Royal in Montego Bay on March 22, said that children could become susceptible to the wiles of criminal elements and get drawn into nefarious activities without the knowledge of parents.

“How you rear your children, how you treat them… the kind of values and the kind of lessons you are teaching them, are very important,” she pointed out.

“How you work with your children’s schools is very important. When the schools are asking for people to come in and be a part of their children’s development, please make yourselves available. Please continue to have a presence in your children’s life outside of the home,” she noted further.
