The police are appealing to parents and guardians to remain vigilant about their children’s safety during the current athletic competitions taking place across secondary schools in the country. This urgent recommendation comes in light of a recent incident where a 14-year-old student went missing but has since been located and reunited with her family.
Authorities reported the student was found at a school event, reassuring the public that communication is vital, particularly during such high-activity periods. “We urge parents and guardians to stress the importance of communication,” the police stated.
The police also thanked the community and #TeamFiji for their efforts in sharing information that contributed to locating the missing student, Elesi Wainivesi, who was reported missing at the Nasinu Police Station.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of minors, emphasized by previous cases involving missing children and teenagers in Fiji. The local police and community organizations have continually advocated for active community participation to ensure the safety and well-being of all students during this busy season.
Community solidarity is crucial in such circumstances, as shared vigilance can lead to quicker resolutions in locating and ensuring the safety of young individuals. Authorities maintain hope that with everyone actively involved, they can prevent further missing persons cases during this important time for school athletics.
