Something must be done about young girls hanging out at nights and early morning. Covid policy has created a new space where children have been forced to survive on their own as once working parents just could not help. We do have a social disaster here. The family unit is in tatters desperate young girls need to called in. Hundreds of children remain educationally and socially abandoned. Covid policy was like a nuke in the amount of destruction caused. And the covid advocates want to continue this war calling for restrictions to remain then one day return to closed food stores. Family values can only be returned with direct economic help to stop the desperation. There needs to be some intervention security with uniforms, food and jobs to rescue an abandoned generation. We are caught in a tradewind of our times.

Changing the legal age of consent is sidestepping the underlying issue. Obviously legal age had no impact on this case. We need laws that provide for prison time for the first offense.

Whoever allowed the 16yr old age of consent should be investigated for pedophillia! Most kids in college don’t even know who they are or what they want! Decision-making skills for such vital matters are not fully developed even then!

So changing from 16 to 18 to protect minors does not protect minors just makes more minors. Need to amend the penalty for the breaking of the law , and shut down loopholes. Need to make it illegal for minor under the age of 18 to enter a club or dance. If they enter, charge the club owner. What happens when an assumed 18 yr old gets into a ompromising situation in a club ? Who is to blame? Is the individual assuming the age of 18 or is it the club owner whom shohld not let people under a ertain age in the club? Just saying that other measures need to be strenghtened or added.

Yup. ID enforcement will get these fake adults in eye lashes, fingertips and body piercing back home by 10pm. Parents need help also for out of hand 13 to 18 year old female late night bar hopping masqueraders.

Comrades, fight all you can muster against those determined to be quick remove the Privy Council, ― Yes?

Changing the age to 18 won't stop a pedophile from being a pedophile. A stricter penalty for pedophiles is what is needed. Changing the consent age only masks the underlying issue, which is that the law is to lenient when it comes to convicting pedophiles.

@Comrade Bahama, research on pedophilia describes an attraction, **not an action,** and elected and appointed politicians' using it fuel age change to 18 will add its **public misperception** that pedophilia **is synonymous with child sexual abuse,** what real difference **will age 18** make, ― Yes?

Would this law change mean boys under 18 would have to find "older" women" or would they too have "to wait" until they turn 18?.

The older woman would then be charged with statutory rape. If both are under the age of consent, no one breaks the law. This is how it usually works.

Ah.............. Appreciate the edification!

The same arguments can be used in this instance that are used for the death penalty, being.... a harsh penalty doesn't stop someone from doing something it's just a punishment.

I personally believe that a harsh penalty will stop all sensible people from doing incredibly disgusting things. A harsh penalty is there to punish the sickos that are going to rape and murder people. Hopefully the penalties are harsh enough to remove sickos from society for ever.

In the 70s, after a night on the town it was common to wake up with a no teeth woman. Apparently night prawlers are waking up to females donning school uniforms. Imagine the terror your female of the night is a student.

This is stupid. Why the hell is everyone only condemning the male in this situation? Why aren't we just as adamant about charging underage girls for engaging in sex as well?

What next … will they bypass a law banning overweight people from McDonalds?

We need the data on when these powerful women list their virginity. By the age of 15 years 50% of girls and at 13 😃 young boys done do it. We need some broad spectrum sexual data for the Bahamas as we are a part of reality and does not exist in a closed stupid world. We are natural and we have sex. Just try stop it as if we forgot what it was like to be young and ruled by hormones. The laws of lust and sin, just read King David. But in our times there remains a price to pay with an admittance of a broken moral society and lack of home guidance. What is important as Laing emphasized the value of home guidance and upbringing to talk all things of life. We parents don't know the lead sexusl affirmations kids are exposed to across the internet just as our parents did not know the back yard sexual conversations taught us and we belived Chinese female tings ran East to West and not North to South. But we bragged that we saw and know. The big boys told us so. Yes l Laing, there was no parental conversation. I guess sex was shameful to talk about. I am shock now that after having kids grand parenting becomes a life of its own. That was not in the manual also.
