PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - Authorities evacuated 10 children from a home for abandoned and neglected children in southern Trinidad after finding evidence that four of them had been sexually abused, police said yesterday.

Authorities had proof that two girls, aged 12 and 14, had been raped, and a ten-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl had scars indicating sexual abuse, said Winston Cooper, acting deputy police commissioner. No arrests have been made.

Cooper could not say when the assaults took place and declined to say who reported it. The 10 children - the total number living in the home - were evacuated last week to a government-subsidised shelter, with the four victims receiving medical care, Cooper said.
