THE teenaged girl who had left her parents home since December 13 last, is currently in police custody, after hurling verbal abuse at an officer of the Probation and Welfare Service and the police, as they attempted to arrest her.The arrest was made shortly after the teen had arrived at her home at Lot 374 Number Two Village, East Canje.

After an anonymous person tipped off the relevant authorities, the law officers swooped on the building, but was initially met with the teen’s mother who attempted to obstruct the officers from executing of their duties by preventing them from arresting the delinquent teenager, who is scheduled to write the Caribbean Secondary Examinations Certificate in May.
The mother, Kulwantie DeSouza, known as Deena, speaking in a loud tone of voice, said she preferred to die than see the cops arrest her daughter.
However, the officers were not deterred by the woman’s aggression, and instead arrested the teen and her mother. They were taken to the Reliance Police Station before being sent to the Central Police Station where the ruckus continued,resulting in scores of persons being alerted by the loud wails emanating from the mother and daughter. As a result, additional ranks were summoned to intervene in an effort to bring calm and stability.
The teen’s father,Patrick De Souza, had made emotional pleas at the various media outlets in Berbice for the second of his three children to return home, especially because her absence has resulted in the mother experiencing mental health issues.
According to him, the mother had to seek the intervention of a popular psychiatrist in Berbice.
However, with her return , Mr DeSouza told officials that he was tired of the teen’s waywardness , and left decisions pertaining to her future in the hands of the Probation and Welfare Service.
The 15 year old left her parents’ home without their consent and is alleged to have displayed promiscuous behaviour in various areas in Berbice and Demerara. She had returned home to uplift other clothing, and had indicated that she was again leaving for an unknown destination.
