Family seeks answers from children’s home on death of girl, 12

Raiwattie Pooran

The family of Raiwattie Pooran, a 12-year-old girl who succumbed some seven weeks after she was struck down by a car along the Industry Public Road on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD), is seeking answers to questions about her supervision at the ‘Bless The Children’s Home,’ where she had been living.

Speaking with Sunday Stabroek yesterday, Pooran’s grandmother, who identified herself as ‘Aunty Savie,’ said that the orphanage is yet to give her family precise information as it pertains to the accident and the injuries that the girl received.
