Comment: I don't live in SK so I don't know much of Kim's habits. Regardless of his political preference...people should not use this against what he is trying to do. After all he has already accomplished most or all of his goals...so if you people want to stay there and be ignorant....Kim is not the one losing out here. Think about it people!!!

Comment: My! My!What a pity!It seems as if this young was on the streets at age 11.What was she not attending school? Where were the schools probation officers?Where were the police officers when children are at the strip, bars,night clubs and such like? Obviously, the child was not hiding.How could some parents allow young girls to sleep in their houses with their sons or other male relatives?And as to her mother, I say you that it is time now for you to start to live better for your children's sake.

Comment: All I say say is...those of you living in SK...if you gonna march...please march for the right reasons. Don't let anyone pull any cloud over your eyes. Is Mr Astaphan's intentions genuine? I don't know...but you guys need to take a look around your country ...see what's happening...crime is on the rise, unemployment has sky rocketed, the country's debt so sky high that it has no ceiling. Astaphan was a part of the Labour Government. Were you satisfied with his performance? Think, Think,!!

Comment: all i could really say after this article is - WOW! Clearly Unique was a special case and it isn't a case that nobody knows about. Child services knew of the problem yet they turned a blind eye to it. After seeing her in a previous news item a red light should have gone off in their minds to think that they need to reach out to the child. Her mother, I have no idea what to say because from reading it seems as though she gave up hope on her 15 yr old a long time ago. Let us as people of St.Kitts and Nevis use Unique's death as a wake up call that SOMETHING needs to be done and be done NOW. Everybody wants to throw the blame because it is the easiest thing to do but we have to take responsibility. Where one has failed one should succeed and allow me to say that far too many have failed in Unique's case - Education Officer, Social Services, Parenting,ALL A WE!!

Comment: Assuming the government cares, they ought to have investigators who are independent of the police investigate this matter. I say this, because the investigators should determine whether the police who killed Unique's boyfriend was involved in Unique's death.

Comment: Principal of the Lyn Jeffers Secondary School Mrs. Jacqueline Jeffers also registered thanks on behalf of the students and parents to those involved in the project. “I stand to give thanks to all those who were involved in this project. I have one regret though and that is it didn’t come before the SBAs were finished because students would have had to have their SBAs in by this week since we have to have the marks in next week"

Comment: We all failed that child, whether we agree or not...we stopped being a community that cares, a community that helps to raise the child...we see other people's children walking the road all hours of the night and we turn a blind eye...those of us who do intervene in any way get cussed out by the parents who demand that we stay out of their business..It is time for us to wake up and realise that the problem lie with us...not the ministry or the government...but with us the community, parents, church leaders, group leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, lawyers...we need to come off our high horses and stop seeing it as somebody else's problem and understand that we created this problem and we have to eradicate it...and the first step is to validate our children...peace to all

Comment: Prime Minister, like seriously, WHERE ARE YOU??? I am a proud labour Supporter...Disclosure. At the same time I am a realistic citizen. Our state of affairs is sad. Invest some money in a Structure built on to the army camp for dilinquent juveniles. As for Blaming, lets kill that and look towards fixing tomorrow based on yesterdays happenings. Apparently and sadly the mother FAILED with disciplining her, when this occurs we need JUVENILE CENTERS. Ma God bless the man who played the father rol

Comment: Unless and until our people understand that it takes a village to raise a child, we are going to face more tragedies like Unique's.No parents can do it alone;no one institution and or person can bear that burden;it will take a full frontal assault by the whole nation to get positive results.And what's going on with all those unsolved murdersin skn?I will bet that it's a hand ful of perps doing all that killing.What we need to do is let the law-abiding ppl arm themselves for their own protection

Comment: As a single parent who had to deal with a "troubled child" I understand the frustration of some mothers, but PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP" THESE CHILDREN ARE LOOKING FOR LOVE" and will go and find it in the WRONG PLACES. If you feel like giving up turn to a Friend, an aunt, a sister, etc, pray about the situation, read your bible to help you get through these difficult times, but PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR CHILDREN.
