The children who police alleged were left unattended by their mother, Veronica Davidson were returned home. According to a source close to the investigation, the mother has since offered an explanation, which is contrary to police reports.
According to the source, the woman’s story was satisfactory therefore no charges would be brought against her: Davidson disclosed that she did not attend any birthday celebration, as was alleged; instead she went with her mother, who is a pensioner, to Georgetown to look after her Identification Card at GECOM.
Further, the woman said that she was not gone for three weeks but rather three days, and that she left the girls in the care of their adult brother and his reputed wife.
The police had alleged that on November 8, Commander of G Division (Essequibo Coast/Islands) Khali Parashram received information around 19:00 hours about the children being neglected and abandoned by the mother.
Acting on that information, a sergeant and ranks visited the home of Davidson, 40, at Dry Shore Village. It was discovered that there were four children in the house, who were unattended and poorly cared for.
According to the Police Report, on Friday 4 November 2016, around 17:00 hours Davidson left her four daughters ages 13, 7, 5 and 3, in the care of her son, Georgie Davidson, and his reputed wife Zeena Richards. The couple has a six-month-old son.
