Opposition Leader Ralph Thorne has queried the neutralisation of the language in the amendments to the Sexual Offences Bill, seeking clarity on whether it extends to same sex unions.
Mr. Thorne called on Government to genuinely act to protect Barbadian children from events that adversely influence what is right and wrong.
He further welcomed efforts to address those who abuse technology to lure children.
The Opposition Leader also weighed in on the abolishment of corroboration.
