Re Suicide; Her body was retrieved at another property and she was taken to the Negril Police Station where she asked to use the restroom???? Am I to understand that the body returned to life at the Police Station?
That part got me so confused! I was like what?! Her body was retrieved at a beach of another property but yet she was found in the bathroom at the police station🤔
no. she was staying at one hotel on the beach, went to another hotel on the beach and started acting up. they called the cops on her and the cops took her to the police station.
What's going on in Jamaica? I hope the authorities get to the root of this situation. Where did he get the gun? Why did he take it to school? He must be held responsible along with the person from whom he got it. Is gun a part of the tools this boy is supposed to take to school? May God have mercy in Jamaica!
Children have been carrying guns to school to show off to their friends for decades. In the cases I know their parents hadn't secured the gun properly.
If that female tourist was suicidal, why did at least two female police escort her to the bthrm and stand outside, surely they would've heard something earlier.
Take her to the hospital... my God... but there's little or no mental health resources for our jamaican people, much less foreigners, tourists ... but tourists equals tourism ... so the government may pretend to do something
This is the mentality of Jamaican police - to take her there and not the hospital!!! Popeye News said she ran to the bathroom after being asked to wait as the police officer had already taken her several times. Police need to be educated on mental health and know when an ambulance is needed not a police car!!!!
Andrew Holness what are you doing for retired police officers??. We have served most of our lives and retire and mortgage stops, car payments stopped, no health insurance.. Jesus Christ. No one to say anything on our behalf. Young people please run far from the jcf please please please
Police allowed lady under suicide watch to use bathroom? No female attendant is at Negril station nobody? One time people used to speak highly of Ocho Rios highschool, but then again that was one time. Pickney use to carry gun go school in my time, in the 2000s. Nothing new why lose sleep?
Thank God it didn't turn out fatal,these students need to focus on their education and stop let this gun concept off their mind.God heal the wounded, and help the perpetrator.😢❤
I agree with Damion but I think instead of increasing gct take that 1% from the funding for prisons and let them work for their 3 square meals, do some farming, furniture making, clean gullies etc.
Why the PainP always want to increase GCT which has a crippling effect on the most vulnerable in Jamaica. If you increase GCT by 1 percent. Do you realize the reduction in purchasing power for seniors whose only source of income is NIS pension of less than $20,000 per month or parents who earns minimum wage of $60,000 per month. This proposal to increase GCT is unconscionable considering the high cost of food items in Jamaica. Why not propose for persons making over $X mil per annum pay additional Y+2% in Education Tax?
They need to start making it mandatory to have people doing military service for at least 1 year or 2 to give people discipline. That way kids see the different direction you can go with their lives and the kids in high school would know that after they are finished school they have the mindset that they are going to military school.
The police need to be trained on how to deal with persons with suicidal ideations. This woman should have been taken directly to the hospital not to a police station. Bad enough they took her there but she should have been closely monitored/put on suicide watch. Guess this is a rare occurrence so they were totally unprepared. So sad.
There are several different religions in Jamaica, so should all of them be taught in the schools? Why is everybody else responsible for rearing someone else's child, except the two people responsible for bringing the child into the world? Religious teachings belong in the home and is the responsibility of the parent (s), usually the father; if the parents were never married, then religion is not in the home, and therein lies the source of the problem. Deuteronomy 6: 6,7 “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:” “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”
@@TheDarkDresser There was no religion in my home an , I knew God for myself,I was not an unruly child .We all were born in Sin an shaped in iniquity.These are these are the generation of vipers ,they know right from wrong . Everyone has to stand at the judgement seat ,parent can do so much an no more ,you train them up well an they disappoint us .
Boats travelling to and fro Haiti like taxi undetected or enabled you see even wanted men being held in Haiti also people from Haiti being caught on land in Jamaica so the guns can reach same way even by fishermen so its not only the ports
It's coming from di states. Jamaica and other west Indian countries think doing business with America is beneficial for dem but they will see how wrong that is.
@@Westindiangyal1111 countries of the West Indies doing business with USA before we were born my dear and Haiti get more illegal guns from USA and Colombia some of the guns in Jamaica were not made in the USA and we cant blame the USA for guns coming in Jamaica we have to blame our security thats suppose to stop it one thing for sure USA will always be making guns
I love my country I enjoy coming home 3 sometimes 4 times a year but the crime rate is alarming I live in one of the crazyest city in the world NYC but for some reason I am not afraid to live there but when I am home in Jamaica I am very un ease sad
I understand... Constantly looking over you shoulder.. My biggest fear in JA..something happen what will be the response time of the police or ent personnel🤔
While I agree with Damion Crawford's plan to increase the education tax and monetary support for education in Jamaica, turning to the GCT may be the wrong move. The area targeted may be better done through either tourism or property-related taxes. GCT tax would affect the very margin of persons who need the most help.
Uh ohhhhh, somebody ago feel the rath of ur highness/king... Why would the police let someone that's trying to commit suicide...out of their sights, unattended ???????... It's a lot of things we as a fifth world country don't know how to deal with....
Too many incidents are happening inside and outside of our school. We say the children are the future, but what kind of future are we creating for them
Well you know Jamaica want to be so much like America., everything they do in America ( good and bad), Jamaica want to do it too so what do you expect?
I do Hope many of those businesses will be operating by Jamaica citizens,and not always foreigners. Jamaicans must be investors in in their own country .
Taken to the police station am I hearing right, common sense,she was suppose to be taken to the hospital as a person,who need immediate attention by professional health care workers. While the patient is been taking care of,then the police could be call if necessary. Educate us,therefore will do the right thing and save lives.
I went to a corporate area high school and graduated 2000. It wasnt the worst high school in Kingston but boys bring gun come buss shot pon school compound. Its not a new phenomenon......its just that news travel faster these days.
It starts with the MP of the constituency. How much of them keep meeting regularly with the people or even send their representatives to have meeting with the people to hear their concerns. Some areas, gunmen, thieves, and robbers, infested the communities, and the good people are held hostage in some places.. To bring back Jamaica to what it once was, we have to re learn what it meant to be a Society...
Mr Crawford indicated that an increase in spending in schools would lead to a reduction in spending in the prisons. If he looked carefully, he'd find more money to move, not only from the prisons but also from policing, from waste & from the increased revenue collected due to tax on inflated prices. I would advise Mr Crawford to wait until he gets into government where he'll be able to properly assess how all his education funds are been spent along with those from all the other ministries. As it is now, only his leader should be better able to tell if there'll be any need to ask the people for any increase in revenue since he's the one who should be coordinating all the watch on all the ministries. Mr Crawford needs to realise that his ministry is only one piece in the jig-saw puzzle, and any increase in his piece would prevent it from fitting and from solving the puzzle.
Think someone should listen to what the news presenter said,the woman body was retrieve from another property where her body was taken to the police station 😅😂😂😂
So much crime is in Jamaica find a way to salves the crime Mr Government not only to bring those to justice Jamaica need help England need to come and help Jamaica 🙌💯
Police drop the ball with this lady. Its so sad...she is somebody too and probably if a little care was shown, a little regard for her life displayed she may have been able to fully function in society. This is one of the most third world things Ive seen happen in Jamaica....so sad 😢
Let me tall you this get Dem Boyz her now and let Dem no Dem slave my people,Dem get out of and now a, days ,Dem don't have no love for no one in to this, god 🌎, school and church step out now,, now is the time,,
Jamaica urgently needs a real Minister of Education who at least has a clue how to manage the education system. Fayval Williams is clueless and doesn't even understand when the situation is a crisis. And Damion Crawford is right but no new taxes is needed. Just cut JLP CORRUPTION and there will be enough to finance education. RUEL REID alone tief more than $50 million that we know about.
Guns in Jamaica are readily available to criminals. Soon we might be able to buy guns illegally in the same manner we buy sweets at shops. The only persons have difficulty acquiring firearms are law abiding citizens. I agree with Damion 100% money has been wasted in so many other areas and we are paying many fees that are nicely disguised to raise revenues but we are told no new taxes. Why not make the tax sacrifice for education instead of rehabilitation????
Things and time have changed drastically so is the heart and mind of people including the leaders of the country, Jamaica land we love has gone to they just come on national TV with their talking and no action. Westmoreland has become a bloody city the minister of security is doing noting to curtail the crime and violence in the country the state of emergency is a waste of money for years they have been doing it, and it's not working it's only a fool that does the same thing over and over and expect a different result. Both past and present leaders have been doing this why not implement a different system.
There is always a tragedy in Westmoreland….only thing can save Westmoreland is GOD
So So sorry
The Mother and the Father
Should be Lock up when the Children do those things.And life would be better So is mother and father so is the children's

I thought I was the only one who heard this. Smh
@@mwenvlay Thanks for stating the obvious mwenvlay. Pay attention to the use of the word 'body' and maybe you'll get my point.
So after attempted suicide, she was allowed to go to the bathroom alone? Wow.
Not alone, but with her belt.
I thought everyone knew that a suicidal person having access to a belt is as bad as that person having access to a gun.
Real talk be blessed. That was a hell no with a belt .really police officers you all should be ashamed. Sad indeed.

Have the schools considered metal detectors?
All students should be screened before entering the school.
Who will pay for the metal detector?
metal detectors detects combs, hairclips and pens
Why would you take this lady to a police station and not a hospital.why would they not take the belt from her robe? Make it make sense
IF. THE LADY SHOWED SIGN OF MENTAL STRESS. 5OMEONE WAS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW HER TO THE TOILET AND STAY WITH HER,
That’s what am saying these ppl so careless how dem allow this to happen. A swear these police don’t care this is so sad 😢

STRANGLE HERSELF??
THATS STRANGE

Westmoreland oh Westmoreland again
Powers that be joking with crime …especially Westmoreland
Jamaica oh Jamaica
Mr Crawford is a very smart guy. What he is saying he is spot on .
It's one of those truth that won't sit comfortably with the Opposition, in light of a pending General Election.
Police allowed lady under suicide watch to use bathroom? No female attendant is at Negril station nobody?
One time people used to speak highly of Ocho Rios highschool, but then again that was one time.
Pickney use to carry gun go school in my time, in the 2000s. Nothing new why lose sleep?
Mr Crawford you have many great intentions but you are not getting any support 🇯🇲 land we love ❤️
They should have taken her to a medical facility when she attempted it at the hotel she was staying
Only in Jamaica u make a suicidal person go to the B.R. with everything on. She should've been Baker Acted and under suicidal watch😢
The question is how does a person strangle themself? they said strangle not hang
Her body was retrieve at a beach so how muc b place she daad😮
Thank God it didn't turn out fatal,these students need to focus on their education and stop let this gun concept off their mind.God heal the wounded, and help the perpetrator.😢❤
Parental guidelines are needed in these kids upbringing, all else will continue to fail if the discipline is not highlighted in the homes..

One minister is getting 20 million pay package ,why cant some of them give back to EDUCATION.
Parents have a responsibility to their children they can't leave it to government and school.
Wow, some people are going through heavy things in life. The woman tried and tried until she took herself out smh
They need to start making it mandatory to have people doing military service for at least 1 year or 2 to give people discipline. That way kids see the different direction you can go with their lives and the kids in high school would know that after they are finished school they have the mindset that they are going to military school.
Take 5% of the politicians pay to fund education

Bad enough they took her there but she should have been closely monitored/put on suicide watch. Guess this is a rare occurrence so they were totally unprepared. So sad.
Parents must bear the responsibility
Put back religious education and the storm will be calm, you can't put God out of his position and expect it to be fine.
Nonsense, leave religion to the church and education to the educators. No need to mix them.

Bottomline... Parents are solely responsible for their children's morality...it's so sad what's happening nowadays..

Increasing taxes in certain sectors will provide more funding for schools, more hospitals and improved infrastructure.

Parents need to check their Children rooms and bags
We must take time off and manitor our childen some of us parent as one maybe two or three one teacher as ove 25 to 30 students to manitor
