  1. See that 14yr old out and about at 11pm just asking for problem. I would break my mop and broom stick…………………

  2. Was she ever missing?
    Did she take a time off to go and get gennip seed?
    Not losing my sleep over run away teenage girls.
    They are not missing. They just went to satisfy their cravings.
    She knew that she doesn’t have a grand mother in New Winthropes.
    That was her escape line to avoid questioning and speculation.
    I wonder what she told those who met her there.
    Where was she between detention and that time?
    Doing what?
    Naaaaaaa! I ain’t drinking bush tea for her fever.
    Not me!!!!!!!

  4. After what happened to Chantel you would think children would be more careful. I’m happy they found her. She need a serious sitting down and maybe a cut ass for real

  5. Yup as presicted. She would show up. She need a good cutass now for playing that shit on ppl knowing the atmosphere.

  6. At 14, what is she doing up there at that hour? She has to provide answers to her parents and to the police. Did she even attend her detention? Was she in the company of others? Question them if so. Isn’t there a curfew on for children? So she broke the curfew.
    No, she would have to be disciplined. Whomsoever she was around until that hour knew that they were harbouring a minor. They too have to have consequences for their action or inaction.
    Little one, take your time, grown people issues are not easy issues. I speak from experience, listen to your parents. Obey them. Listen to your pastor/priest/preacher, and be patient in life. There is a lot left for you to learn before you enter adulthood.

  7. At a time like this…these little girls playing games? No child should put their parents let alone the country under that pressure especially since the Chantel issue is fresh on our minds. Sometimes these little girls can really frustrate people. I’d beat her ass!!!

  8. She is what she is like, she is a good beating from her parents, this adolescence she does not think about her parents and the people in her surroundings looking for her, I am her mother, I hit her with a stick of pigeon pea branch so that He has a fever and I don’t even give him a glass of water because of what he did.

  9. She really need a cut ass. But the adults (school, parents) that decided Saturday is best for detention and allow her go without adult taking n picking her up, they too need a buss ass. Y’all know how ppl on edge right now? Y’all nar learn

  10. Listen I was ready to find her and give her a good beating myself have people on edge. The atmosphere is not conducive for your foolishness little girl! When school over find your backside home. Glad to know you’re home… But how you get New Winthrope?????

  11. How quick humans are to come to conclusions, u guys don’t even know the circumstances yet we have already tried persecute and jailed the little girl. Let’s pray for the family and see if we can get that girl into counsel. No wonder police don’t share details with us.

  12. @on Edge There is nothing wrong with a detention on Saturday. Train your child and then still monitor them. Everything is a problem with you all.
    And to the police: Great job
    Weren’t they praising up every body recently except the police. That whole brouhaha was so unnecessary.
    Good job again to them.

  13. Detention id a normal thing I don’t know why some persons are surprised. This little girl is the problem she wasn’t missing she was just unruly & disobedient . Imagine the stress she put her mother through, she was suppose to be home by after 2 the latest and she was on a playing field at 11pm . Close to 12am . Girl if I was your mother I’d beat your ass but not only did you waste people affects but you had everyone worried especially considering what happened to Chantel

  14. They said detention right? Detention for what ? I don’t want to jump to conclusions but why is she giving so much headache ? This do not sound like a missing person, this young lady just wanted to take a brake! Young people I’m begging, please to come to your senses and do the right things. You’re only hurting yourself. Heavenly father I pray for the youths of this nation 🙏

  15. Find out who home she was by if older people there charge them because I shore they saw she us missing and why have a child out of her home at this time question her .

  16. Find out who home she was by if older people there charge them because I shore they saw she us missing and why have a child out of her home at this time question her .don’t she have a phone she don’t care something is wrong in her yard .

  19. We are dealing with a different generation these days who are both stubborn and rebellious. But parents must step up to the plate and have serious and hard dialogue with their children . We have to engage in open and honest conversation with them about their day, feelings, hopes, dreams, family rules, expectations and current events. Parents must build and foster strong family bonds through communication. The habit of having detention on weekends must also be addressed seriously. We must begin to take a more holistic view at all the issues plaguing our youths in order to prevent and avoid these unnecessary scares.

  20. That’s the problem the police have now. After recent happenings. T hey have to go ‘all out’, ‘full force’, cannot afford to take any chances. Now, Police at Grays Farm Station was wrong to say what he said if he said it. I know. Chantel was a pre teen, and it is usually teenagers who go on self impose absence. But with all the recent calls where girls was found safe after ‘running away’ a relax police response can and often, will happen.

    Cry wolf syndrome.

    The police however have to rise above this. Peter cannot pay for Paul.. Forget about the ones before, deal with each new call on it’s own merit.

    And after reading Audley Phillip’s review, I agree, with him, and I have an even stronger opinion. That with immediate effect, and until further notice the Ministry should ban all school detentions period.

  21. Agreeing with Audrey and Ron, I’d want to also see a review of the impact on young people in the Country of social media which has replace the societal traditions in our lives
    Many social media platforms are banned or restricted in some countries.
    It’s time to examine how does social media influence and promote social behavior among our young people.

  22. This is why there is a 24 hour wait, because there is missing and then there is “I went bout my business and didn’t tell anyone”.

  23. She lill force ripe pussy want a good peppering and she want a prappa buss rass bet you she don’t smell her likkle dutty crutch so fast again.
    Parents too friggin LGBTQ to handle Dem children these days.
