This is so emotional. Mr Turner. All i can say is that you were given that ministry for a reason. Sad state of affairs in Antigua. Never knew it was so heavy.
Mr Hon.Turner.
I always admire you and look at you as a decent politician but this intercession on the behalf of young people, put you in a class by yourself.
If you continue your advocacy for the children and youths of this country, you will be a politician for a very long time.
From….the president of “youth justice Antigua and Barbuda.
On many occasions teachers complain but no one bothers to pay attention. Thank you Mr. Turner for shedding light on this situation that has been plaguing our children. As a primary school teacher it’s disheartening to see what some of these children go through on a daily basis.
Selfish evil individuals should not be allowed to procreate but if by happen stance they do then their children should be permanently removed from their presence and placed in loving homes. Minister Turner I salute you for bringing these atrocities to light. Cutie, now tge ball is in your court – strengthen these laws and enact others to protect our children for they are our future.
