CDA steps into child-biting incident
THE Child Development Agency (CDA), will be investigating the circumstances in which a two-month-old baby was allegedly bitten to death by a four-year-old girl in Irish Pen, St Catherine earlier this week.
According to the Spanish Town police, the child died on Sunday after receiving several bite wounds from the four-year-old which was compounded by further trauma suffered during the attack. It was also reported that the four-year-old child who allegedly committed the murder had allegedly carried out similar attacks in the past.
Yesterday, the CDA said officers from its St Catherine office would be visiting the family of the four-year-old child to see to the child’s well-being.
The agency said this was necessary given the fact that with the two families being in conflict, it was uncertain what the anger and stress levels were like and wanted to ensure that no harm came to the child.
