The director of the Child Protection Agency on Tuesday said publicly that Guyana is failing its children, citing systemic delays and bottlenecks in the investigation of child sexual abuse cases that have left victims and families waiting for charges, hearings, and outcomes that often never arrive. Kaieteur News reported the statement on May 12 as part of broader reporting on the country’s child-protection apparatus, including the disclosure that more than 1,200 rape cases have been reported in Guyana since 2021.
