CHILDREN advocacy group Hear the Children Cry has called for the release of the tapes that were found at the home of slain Ambassador Peter King, seven years ago, which purportedly contained images of children being buggered.
Convenor of Hear the Children Cry Betty-Ann Blaine told the Jamaica Observer yesterday that at the time of the ambassador's death in March 2006, 258 tapes were confiscated and the organisation was reliably informed that children were on those tapes.
BLAINE... I believe that we have a right to see those tapes if children are on those tapes

"To this date, we have not been able to see those tapes, so here is the call we are making, reveal before repeal. Let us see those tapes," Blaine said.
Blaine, who is also the founder of New Nation Coalition, was speaking to the Observer at yesterday's eastern leg of Mercy Cry, an initiative which saw Christians from different denominations gathering at National Heroes Circles in Kingston to pray for the nation's leaders and to ask for God's intervention in the many problems facing the nation such as homosexuality and buggery.
"We want to see those tapes and I believe that we have a right to see those tapes if children are on those tapes and until we can see those tapes and understand what is happening with the buggery of our children, we will not support any amendment to the buggery law," Blaine said.
She also expressed concerns about the challenge to the constitution of the buggery law and the amendment or repeal of the buggery law, given the fact that the buggery of children has increased exponentially especially over the last year.
"The statistics are that 74 per cent of our children have been buggered over the previous year," Blaine argued.
Jamaica, she said, should not "touch the buggery law" at this time, as the degree of buggery in the island is unknown.
"We have an idea about our children but we know that buggery extends to young people and others," she said. "How can we be looking to amend or repeal the law when we don't know the extent of buggery in Jamaica?
