Comment: People will make noise against this. They will say it won't do anything cause people under the current age are having sex still. Why is that? Maybe they are doing it when no parent is around. I think they want to raise it to help decline teen pregnancies, too bad it might not be enforced by reasonable adults. But then again when our hormones get flowing reason get lost.

Comment: as a concern citizen i think that this law that was passed was really stupid, because girls tend to be girls and they are not going to stop have sex with older men, so i thing u guys need to change it a lot because it is not fair that law a was not necessary to the country at all.......

Comment:  I do appreciate hearing the voice of Kittitian youth. While I commend the responsible sexual decisions of ‘a voice’, I disagree with this young person’s perspective on the law. The law would not disadvantage men at all. Children, 18 years old and under, do not have the capacity to fully consent to sex. Adults do. If an adult engages in sexual activity with a minor, they deserve to be put into jail. “A voice” raises a good point about the effectiveness of the law. These concerns are real and pertain more to the enforcement of the law and not the law itself. After the law is passed, several administrative steps must be taken. Personnel in several fields, for example child welfare and the police, must be trained and encouraged to enforce the law.

Comment: I think that the law is a good thing but there will have short comings that will be apart of new law, if other laws are not looked at. One such law is what age should a child be able to finish with school, the current law is sixteen years of age,so change should be made towards this law as well.

Comment: why de minister never put all them things in place when he was responsible for it.Now he out he want pressure a next man to do it.politicians give de youths arms to cause havoc and then cry when it get too far.youths ain got money to buy guns so who sponsoring them..people in sk acting like they don't kno what's goin on and fraid to say who really bringing in the guns.both political parties in sk responsible for this,so call a next community meeting to give the henchmen more orders.

Comment: AS a 18 year old virgin i , really don`t see why this law should be change. For years girls under the age of 16 had been having sex/relationships with men over the age of 18 and no one has been doing anything about it becaus e the country see it as being consensual. So whats the point if you change the age what do u think would happen ? .Do u think they would stop ? NO! this just open doors for mmen to be put in jail for consensual sex this act would just unfair to men

Comment: Mr. Astaphan u do make some good points but u only seem to talk about the negative, u was minister of national security for a number of years and from a citizens point of view, u were very silent when the police were crying out for help. I have seen many dedicated officers work night after night without rest, i have heard the police beg for simple things as bullet proof vest but it seems to me that u guys can only provide for the army. I think the police are doing a good job despite their trials

Comment: How is it I have not heard of an investigation into the shooting of this Private Richards. Yes it is very saddening and indeed unfortunate that someone had to loose their life and a family left to mourn. However, justice should not be one-sided, this young man has been tried for his crime what about the person or persons responsible for shooting him? What about the fact that there are unknown idividuals who still have weapons at their disposal to with as they please?

Comment: Lets hope justice will be served he need to be punished. This is not good enough look at Clyde's children having to bear this pain and the rest of his family who have to try and deal with this. Too much ignorant persons walking on the streets of St Kitts lets rally together and support this family
