As you know, on September 6, I sent the following queries to your department for the attention of the head of the civil service. "I understand the director is away. Would it be possible to get some responses to the following questions from the head of civil service? 1. With respect to the investigation into the allegations of abuse and neglect at the department of child and family services, has an independent investigator been appointed? If not, when do you expect to appoint one? 2. Why have no other member of the DCFS staff been suspended or put on administrative leave? You would be aware that separation orders were applied in respect of four members of staff, and the orders were allegedly ignored/violated. We plan to publish a follow up on our story (https://politica.think.bm/2018/09/agency-neglectingabusing-children/) at 4 p.m. today. Response would be appreciate before then.” We have received no reply and can only conclude that Dr Binns has no intention to do so. I would appreciate it if you would bring these queries to the attention of the Minister. Further, there are concerns that no investigation is taking place, as key people have not yet been contacted, and that a cover up by senior civil servants may be in effect. If an independent investigator has been appointed, who is the person? When will the probe start? And why has there been no public announcement ? What is/will be the terms of reference of the investigation? On a related note, it has come to my attention that the CCTV system at the facilities of the residential treatment services has not been operational for a significant period of time. Would the minister be kind enough to tell us why? When will this be rectified? Since the Minister has agreed that government should fund litigation guardians, is not the pending appeal of the Hellman decision a waste of taxpayers’ money? I sincerely hope that we get responses by my publication deadline which is 5 pm today.
