But one day, after being accused of hiding an E-cigarette, she was strip searched by police, adding to the trauma Marlon had assumed would shield his daughter.
It is completely wrong and disgusting for a youngster who has been groomed to be hauled to a police station and have their clothes checked,” claims Marlon.
He says his daughter was already requested to undress to her underwear when he arrived at the police station.
According to Marlon, the search was carried out by female officers in front of a glass door, so the male officers could see her too.
Marlon adds, “I was incensed when I learned that she had been undressed and searched and was so upset about it.”
Campaigners who protested in the streets in 2020 in response to news that a 15-year-old black girl was searched and undressed while at school and during her menstruation shared this opinion.
