12 years old!!! TWELVE!!! Father Jesus.
HOME TRAINING is the root cause.
When are we going to make an example of these youngsters??? They need to learn!!
Idle hands, idle life
No tough laws or punishment to ditter these young boys, so they have no fear of retribution, because they know they will only get 3yrs max for taking a life.
At 12, I was so damn quiet that I would piss man pants if my father shout at me too hard, and once he picks up that belt, it’s not for good looks.
Antigua really gone to the dogs.. damn shame indeed!!!
@Islanman26 – It’s the parents for these children that has caused shame on them and their children. I hate to hear everybody say Antigua gone to the dogs. Parents need to step up and be held accountable. Can’t even talk to some a dem bout dem rude picknie and dem. Really sad!
