By Zoila Palma: Church Senator Louis Wade Jr. says that there is a “clash of values” as it relates to carnival.
“There is a clash of values. There is an ongoing debate as to what is allowable and normal in the public space.
Carnival occurs in the public space; there is the suspension of several laws, including public nuisance, public drinking, public decency,” Wade said.
“And now it seems that many are comfortable with child sexual exploitation and sexual assault of a minor to be NORMAL and classified as “people just having fun”,” he added.
Wade’s comments come as the public discourse continues following a viral video showing a young boy engaged in highly sexualized dancing with three adult women at the Orange Walk Carnival.
The Church Senator said that across Belize, data shows that family members are responsible for the sexual assault of children.

Do not remain silent: someone values will become the norm… Ours or theirs… theirs if you remain silent,” Wade expressed.
