Bermuda’s young people have never been more at risk and deferring the Mirrors residential programme penalises an initiative with a track record of success in turning their prospects around, according to the One Bermuda Alliance.A shortfall in funds led to the cancellation of next month’s residential session for 15- to 18-year-olds, which would have been held at the Willowbank hotel.Shadow Community Development Minister Donte Hunt last night blasted the decision.“That it has happened because of the Government’s self-made debt crisis is particularly annoying,” he said. “Prevention of abuse and antisocial behaviour among Bermuda’s youth warrants continuing investment, not retreat by the Government.”Mirrors saw 34 percent of its annual funding cut in the last Budget a decision Mr Hunt branded “callous”, and a sign that Government has “lost sight of what’s important”.The Shadow Minister called on Government to develop a national plan to address the Island’s increasing social challenges.“The plan should take into account the views all stakeholders, including social service agencies, community workers, parents and teacher,” Mr Hunt said. “It must provide a comprehensive understanding of current and anticipated social problems.”
