    It is my opinion that parents must be prosecuted in cases like this…

      Yes I do agree that parents should be persecuted in situations like that. I do have a strong feeling which I hope it’s not that the ministers some of them must be taking a young man for boggering I’m paying them then keeping them for a few days until they feel better and send them home open that they will not talk in the offer them some more money they need to stop

    Thank God he is home.
    But the double standard is amazing.
    When a girl is missing she with she man, a boy goes miss he is being abused.
    We need to stop. Mental and physical abuse is real for everyone. Let’s stop judging and just pray wholeheartedly for the children.

    Perents let’s keep praying for our children no matter their age or gender. The devil is out to destroy and disturb our family in any way possibly . These day our caribbean islands are taking a lashing with missing children and that is not an accident. Them devilish folks are hard at work ,trying to fulfill their needs. They are sacrificing our children for money,fame,political position and something just to see someone else suffer. “May their god forgive them because I can’t”. Sometimes you’re got to allow iron to sharpen with iron.
