Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho says it is about time that religious gatherings are held in the day and parents should ensure that they accompany their children to church services and other gatherings.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Qiliho says police are now looking at different strategies to ensure that children do not become the targets of sexual predators due to lack of supervision and parental negligence.

He says there is a real concern about the number of cases under investigation in relation to parental negligence.
