    I believe our law enforcement agency here have no real protocol for incidents such as what’s been taking place here in recent times. They themselves are as confused and clueless as we the citizens are So they are probably using their standard crime solving approach.. what ever that is..Big up Antigua News. You make your news Items come alive

    I watched this 4 times and wept when this sister said take her instead of me. This is love. Like when jesus died instead of me. Before we get over one missing person another one is missing. Whatever you have done with the person child bring her back home
