How very sad.
What does the note say?
Sincere sympathy to the family. Tragic lost
I wish therevwas someone she could have reached out too,May God have mercy on her soul for taking her own life.
So very sad! How a young woman can feel so isolated that she takes her own life in such a tragic and painful way. God rest her soul and grant her the peace which she could not find in this life. My prayers are with those left behind to pick up the pieces and who will strive to understand why she felt she had no other choice. God Bless…
Beating children to behave a certain way creates self hatred and depression, plus all sorts of sick shame. I saw the video on the local news on youtube, poor child never stood a chance of enjoying life. Most parents are sick people who were ruined by their own parents, just goes on and on.
botox you never have anything positive to say.
Well I could start telling you lies and I am sure you would just be so happy with that.
Bridge street, VFort, winds its way from the old wooden “pon” connector to “CoCoDan” beach passing its midway point at the entrance to the historical Belvedere Convent -old primary school complex- to its terminus near the Square. Botox is very up front with his assessment and some are taken aback, however, his “Avro Lancaster bombay” is on target with its pertinent discourse.
The vicious cycle of not having frank -open dialogue with our children (preferably as early as kindergarten onwards) leads to stark future confrontations or benign withdrawals when Freudian latency erodes and the advent of ” pseudo” adult (teen) emerges. Moreover, discussions of rudimentary bodily…
Was the child being abused and posted on Youtube.
Where and when did StLucians discover statements that were negative or positive? Is truth a factor here? Is a positive statement one that makes some people feel good no matter untrue? Is a negative statement one that though true is inconvenient? Why can’t we just consider the truth of a statement ot it’s invalidity?
Please view the news clip and decide for yourself. The father is taped saying ” Daddy please don’t beat me”. St. Lucia is a strap and cutlass culture, when you are growing up the leather is always educating your life, and later the cutlass is either involved in STEP or conflict resolution.
botox what are you implying. Are you saying that the child said daddy don’t beat me, because if that is what you mean then you have a hearing problem. The father said if only the child had said daddy don’t beat me I won’t do it again, she chose to hang herself.
This implies that the child lived in a beating environment, that she had been beaten in the past. Why would the father mention anything about beating unless this had been part of the child’s upbringing. Look, you can pretend all you want but most of St. Lucia raises it’s kids on the code of the belt.
Though my heart bleeds for you Jasma, I am relieved to know the angels haven taken you to Zion away from the pain and suffering you must have endured. i was not as courageous as you. I cried so much to see myself again, so helpless and hopeless, anticipating another beating and perhaps “searching”. You had to be taken away so you could be protected. And now, they cannot hurt you anymore, they must live with their guilt, those who failed you.
Cry of the battered down children: “What does my life mean to me when with one hand you feed clothe and shelter me and with the other you incessantly brutalise me?”
Botox thanks for saying it like it is.
Perhaps a positive statement true or false is viewed as one that makes us feel good. But when, true or false a statement makes us ashamed of ourselves by forcing us under the bright bulb of scrutiny,it’s considered negative.
That is correct, most of the Caribbean uses guilt and abuse as a way to have power of children, and it only helps the person who is trying to control the child. The guilt is always imposed from the outside and the shame that the child experiences is very destructive, it kills all courage of living and being oneself. Now, those who judge a comment as a negative or positive are simply a by-product of this brutal system, because they have been conditioned from birth to see the world in right and wrong and not as it truly is. What a sick mess.
