Re­port­ing that cor­po­ral pun­ish­ment was both ram­pant and bru­tal, the task force was shown a cor­ri­dor lead­ing to the mu­sic room where whip­ping is done. The girls com­plained of the por­tion serv­ings be­ing too lit­tle and that they were al­ways hun­gry. Pri­or to an ar­ti­cle in the Mir­ror in De­cem­ber 1996, break­fast at the home con­sist­ed of sug­ared wa­ter (sug­ar tea) and stale bread. Fol­low­ing the pub­li­ca­tion, the meal moved to be­ing milk tea on Mon­day, Wednes­day and Sun­day, along with a sin­gle bread/bun slice with but­ter.

Adding that it was, “un­for­tu­nate to see just how the chil­dren were treat­ed.” He said this re­port was the fore-run­ner that had led to the es­tab­lish­ment of the Chil­dren’s Au­thor­i­ty. In­stead, he said they went to the re­li­gious or­gan­i­sa­tions that op­er­at­ed some of these fa­cil­i­ties, in a bid to use sua­sion and good­will to get the op­er­a­tors to al­ter their man­age­ment styles. And with no nu­tri­tion­ist on staff as the Sis­ter de­cides on the menu, “The sta­ple lunch di­et is white dog rice boiled with chick­en feet, wings and neck with lots of salt. Beds were found to be jam-packed to­geth­er with most hav­ing rot­ten foam for mat­tress­es and no pil­lows.

The re­port con­tained de­tailed find­ings of vis­its to ten chil­dren’s homes/in­sti­tu­tions, and re­vealed tales of hor­ror faced by the wards at these fa­cil­i­ties.. When the Robert Sab­ga-led Task Force em­barked on its man­date to as­sess the ad­min­is­tra­tion and eval­u­ate the op­er­a­tions and health­care of chil­dren’s homes in 1997—they dis­cov­ered the Na­tion­al Fam­i­ly Ser­vices was on­ly aware of 29 such fa­cil­i­ties op­er­at­ing in Trinidad, while there were many more yet to be iden­ti­fied and vis­it­ed. Fol­low­ing a Guardian Me­dia re­port where the man­age­ment of the home called for bet­ter fa­cil­i­ties and oth­er sup­port, the Gov­ern­ment is now promis­ing to find a new lo­ca­tion for the es­tab­lish­ment, as well pro­vid­ing more train­ing for work­ers. An­oth­er re­port in­volved a 13-year-old girl who was whipped mer­ci­less­ly with cur­tain wire even though she claimed to have a heart con­di­tion. In ad­di­tion to the days list­ed above when milk was served, the com­mit­tee learned the girls would have been giv­en milk on the Fri­days they were due to ap­pear in court so that when ques­tioned by mag­is­trate as to whether they had a whole­some break­fast, they could re­ply in the af­fir­ma­tive.

Oth­er in­stances of com­pro­mised health­care in­clud­ed one girl who had an in­jured foot and who had been forced to ban­dage it her­self—lead­ing to it be­ing swollen and pos­si­bly in­fect­ed.
