Children 'dumped' in hospitals for T&T Carnival
Hospitals are becoming home for someincluding children at Carnival time.
Some parents deliberately dose their children with Brooklax laxative, take them to hospitals for diarrhoea treatment and leave them there when they want to fete for Carnival, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said yesterday.
...They induce diarrhoea, go to the Accident and Emergency unit complaining of this and you have to keep the child! Theres no law against giving your child a laxative on Carnival Friday, but because this public health system is free, its abused, Deyalsingh told Parliament.
Replying to Opposition questions, Deyalsingh confirmed that across the health sector there are currently 51 people who are long-stay patients. This includes 18 at the San Fernando General Hospital. There are none at Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
Deyalsingh said the maximum time-frame a person can be treated at a public hospital varies depending on a diagnosis. But he said people living at hospitals are left there by their families, because their families dont want to take care of them at home.

Dude, this has been going on since 1983 or before.
Some never met criteria for admission but when you look around, the parent already abandoned the child right in the ER.
Just to go party. Happens a lot, increased incidences during Carnival, New Years's Eve etc.
Free babysitting.
They come back 3-4 days later to claim their "child" and usually full of complaints!

How can any parent do this to its own?
Defies logic.

Shame on those parents,but bad parenting isn't exclusive to T&T or the Caribbean and foreign examples are waaay more twisted and diabolical..

I am an alter ego when exposing these individuals.
He is not blaming Venezuelans, Jamaicans, or Guyanese as yet
for causing T&T to look bad, or we go have 20 murders less than last year or the Mexican Bridge as yet.
What a paradise, ah tell ya.
