Recently I came across what could only be described as a horrifying video on Facebook. In it, a woman who lives in Grenada, but claims to be Guyanese, chronicled the sexual abuse of her three-year-old daughter by her much older partner.
She expressed remorse for allegedly poisoning him, but said she had to because the man would have eventually penetrated her baby girl and she had no choice. Online searches revealed that the police in Grenada are indeed investigating the man’s death. They said he died in June and was buried in July this year. From all indications, the investigation began after the woman posted the video.
Below is the transcript of the video with her name redacted to protect the identity of the child.
“Hi my name is [name of the woman] I am from Guyana and my boyfriend from Grenada. He bring me and my child down to Grenada. We were together actually for three years. But I have a confession to make,” she starts to cry.
