The Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society (JCHS) has waded in on the controversy surrounding Moravian pastor Rupert Clarke, recommending that all institutions establish systems for protecting the children under their care and with whom they come in contact.
In a news release issued on January 11, the JCHS extended sincere sympathies to the young girl involved and to her wider family.
“The nation must mourn and be enraged about any and every instance of abuse against our children and especially where people of faith are the alleged perpetrators,” the JCHS said.
“We await the outcome of the investigations but we say emphatically that the law must be allowed to take its full course in this matter,” the organisation added.
