Your signature and sharing this petition has resulted in a WIN for one of our demands of the government! 

✓ Launch the Missing Child "Marco Alert" System

Missing children are now an epidemic in Nassau, New Providence.

On May 23, 2023, the police issued a Marco's alert via mobile phones, which included a link to the photo of the missing girl. Through the efforts of the general public, she was found.

Thank you!

Please continue to share this important petition. We now need to see the following implemented:

  • Impose stiffer penalties for crimes against children
  • Mandate psychological evaluation, intervention and treatment for those convicted of crimes against children
  • Amend the Sex Offender Registry based on suggestions we have submitted, including making the list retroactive, and adding first time offenders to the list
  • Table "Bella's Bill" in Parliament - our proposed amendment to Section 63 of the Child Protection Act that would expand the categories of stewards of children that are mandated to report suspected child abuse
  • ✓ Launch the Missing Child "Marco Alert" System
