People should get arrested and charged for bringing children into this kind of abject poverty. Four children, six children, and more.....when they already struggle to survive. If she has a 22 year old, why still be having more? This is exactly how they overpopulated their own country.

Ignorance lead people to say stupid things. Is a a question of poverty or a housing crisis on New Providence that get people in these situations? The government acknowledges there is a housing crisis, but yet they break down these albeit illegal structures without addressing the main issue or ‘housing crisis’. So they put the displaced people in hotel rooms , only for a while, then tell them they have to leave. They bombard the media misleading the public that the shantytowns aren’t illegal structures constructed by illegal immigrants. But only in the middle of the demolition exercise does the public find out that at least half or more of the residents of the shanties are Bahamians or legal immigrants.

Housing crisis?? It is NOT government duty to provide housing. Adequate housing is the responsibility of a parent. Common sense and intelligence leads humans to first secure a decent abode and THEN have children to punch out 4 kids with no secure job and no house or apartment on lease means that you simply don't have intelligence.

These poor and struggling people sure like to have kids. I can't wrap my head around the thinking. I guess that's why they're poor - because they don't think so good.
Please tell them that it's cheaper to buy and maintain 6 brand new cars than to have 6 children. Maybe their brain can somehow comprehend that!

I got to tell you that Haitians don’t have nothing on Bahamians when it comes to pushing out unwanted and uncared for children.
Bahamians with this mindset should look in the mirror more often.

Yep......we are also overpopulating this one lil small island

If a person is evicted from an apartment, when the law says you have to go, you have to go. In other words the law doesn't care or have to care where you go, you just can't stay there.

They had enough warnings the tribune is good at finding people with great stories perhaps they can Assist the mother of six age 22and under with living accommodations now that will be a real story

Meanwhile some of these pastors who own and operate successful church businesses spend thousands of dollars on expensive shoes and silk woolen suits. Is that really the way that God wants them to use the money that they persuaded their followers to give to them? Is a fancy suit really more important than housing homeless children? Perhaps I mussa read the wrong Bible version.

Most pastors and priests are not men of God, they just have the gift of speech and can charm/ convince/ flam people with words.

Then we have to pay for them. The government has to increase something to find money to buy food for her 6 children, clothe them and school them. We are screwed in the bahamas with the poverty increading while the Prime Minister flies around the world eating steak and staying in 5 star hotels.

Where are the fathers . The pm traveling is not the matter maybe the children fathers traveling is that Allright

Birdie, maybe you can your people in the PLP to raise up VAT to 20% so these migrants can be fed? Yes? no? yes?

Where did the insane woman go who is checking for her

There is a fire there there was a fire at the other shanty town it is my hope that the Haitian people will raise up in the Bahamas it can happen. It is done all the time in Haiti fighting and burning tires. Who lights these fires .

The tribune report of the woman with six children sleeping on the ground if she did not find a place she might have seen who light the fire

UNLESS and Until government addresses the issue of the severe housing shortage on Nee Providence and some other islands, these illegal shantytowns will continue to pop up and continue to be a problem. And government needs to stop misleading the public into believing these shantytowns are only occupied be illegal immigrants when it seems Bahamians are the most drastically displaced when the Shantytowns are demolished. The case may be different in Abaco. So what has created this severe housing crisis on Nee Providence. Firstly the cost of multi family property had escalated by leaps and bounds. Then the cost of construction is so high, it is almost impossible to see a return on investing in apartments in a reasonable timeframe, then there are the issues of high maintenance and poor paying tenants that may put the landowner at risk of losing the property to the bank. On top of that, the average Bahamian no longer qualifies for a mortgage on even the most modest home.
