The Deputy Attorney General, Ramon Aristides Madera, announced yesterday that he would authorize several prosecutors to investigate and open files on the parents or guardians of 15 minors who suffered poisoning after drinking alcoholic beverages during the Holy Week holiday. Diario Libre reported that during the holiday, 73 people suffered alcohol poisoning -16 more than last year - and of these, 15 were minors between two and 17 years of age, mostly girls. Moreover, 30 people died, two from alcohol poisoning, and 668 were injured.
According to the latest bulletin from the Emergency Operations Center (COE) on the operation called "Holy Destination, Holy Week 2011", which ran from noon on Holy Thursday until 8pm on Easter Sunday, three minors including a two-year old suffered alcohol poisoning in Bayaguana. In Esperanza another child, just five years old, suffered alcohol poisoning. Four minors were affected in La Caleta, two in the National District, one in Villa Altagracia, one in Neyba, and one in Montecristi.
Madera stated that if necessary they would request coercive measures against "these irresponsible persons" implicated in the cases, and they will be sent to court for violation of Article 412, of Law 136-03, the Code of Protection of the Rights of Boys, Girls and Adolescents. He said that the process would start as soon as he received the official report from the COE with the list of the children affected.
