00:00SDA pastor and activist Clive Dutton says the country has crossed a critical threshold
00:07where survival, not stability, is now shaping daily life.
00:11A lot of children are living in survival mode and we are the ones to take them out of that.
00:17The disease has spread, the cancer is in stage four metastasis condition.
00:24He argues that the criminal justice framework is not failing because of a lack of laws,
00:31but because of weak and inconsistent enforcement on the ground.
00:36Although there is the law, but the implementation and practicalizing and operationalizing of the law is where the problem is.
00:44The former senator also referenced the ongoing search in Tobago for the missing two year old.
00:50You have the very heartbreaking and traumatic situation with young Angelo.
00:57And like we cannot make a move as yet in terms of finding out who is really responsible for that
01:05child.
01:06All right. Disappearing into thin air. Who is really responsible?
01:11And may I suggest to you, I ask the question, who will be held responsible?
01:15He says more should have been done.
01:18So obviously the biological father is out of the immediate environment.
01:23All right. And maybe has been out for a good while.
01:27Whatever the social psychosocial dynamics in that situation,
01:32you have a child who I would dare say needed protection and didn't get the protection the child should have
01:40gotten.
01:40Pastor Dutton tells the morning edition silence is especially dangerous when it comes to child protection,
01:47noting that vulnerable children are often placed at greater risk when wrongdoing is ignored or concealed.
