PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister Jacobs was presented with a certificate of thanks by the Patrol Eradicating Pedophilia( PEP) representative Jackmaurice Montas.
The initiative taken by Patrol Eradicating Pedophilia( PEP) during carnival to challenge the participating students of Youth Extravaganza to send a message about bringing awareness and empowerment to the youth about Pedophilia and ways to combat it, not only in other countries, but on St. Maarten as well is one that I greatly applaud. PEP has the potential to strengthen the role of the community and the family, making the cumulative impact greater.
Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a relative or a caregiver, you can make a difference and help the children you love grow up in a caring, loving environment. Together it is possible, we can protect our children from child abuse and pedophilia. We all have our role to play in and together, we can tackle every form of child abuse.
