This isnt a good system. The alerts as structured are beyond annoying. The alert should not take over your phone, suppose you have your own emergency and cant make a phone call while this excessively loud voice drones on forever? Its great for a visually impaired person but who thought of that as a general feature and who did they test this system with?

The law speaks to a system. The language of the law wasnt followed. Our problem remains enforcement.

I'm still of the belief that the Marco's alert was sent out after the body was discovered by drone. 24hours is 10AM Tuesday to 10AM Wednesday. My theory is the anticipated fallout from the discovery of the body spurred them to overreact and send out all kinds of messages then speak to Taylor Casey's parents and revive the Devin Isaac's case.

The actions of the police just appear to be as lazy as their approach to physical discipline. In that aspect they represent who we are as a society. The spokesperson said hes not aware of someone calling the police station about screams and that they knew the young girl was missing so theyd respond immediately to a report of screams. Not possible. The screams preceded the missing person report *and*, someone who knows the pastor said he did not call, he drove to the station and verbally reported hearing screams.

Maybe we are **all** out of touch.

My first reaction was how can a 12 year old be walking alone at night? Why didnt someone call the police when she didnt show up that night?

**The mother explained a reality that many could not imagine but likely thousands live unseen.**

They have to walk an hour to and from the main road and traverse a track road through bushes to get to and from their house. They have no fridge so this trip has to happen daily to get food. This was not said, but realistically, its likely Ariel was responsible for some of these trips, in predawn and near dusk.

The mother is very angry. Who wouldnt be, myself and the world were attacking her for a situation she could not have changed. Just two weeks ago, the boyfriend walked to a church to check out the environment Ariel would be in to make sure it was safe.

Why didnt they check on Ariel? Why didnt they call the police? Because they have no phone. They have to make the 45minute walk, likely to end up looked down upon as bad parents for having a *fresh* child who doesnt come home at night. I dont know what decision I would have made. I'd like to think I'd risk the danger of 3AM 45minute walk down a deserted road. I een in their shoes.

For me the Marco's alerts were telling. They were clearly a reactive as opposed to proactive response as they were sent in close succession with one missing person report being two weeks old. Coming across a gruesome crime scene might spur the rapid transmission of 3 alerts.

**Please Mr Davis, no more 500,000 dollar trips to Botswana, no more 200,000 dollar cars or 2.5million dollar planes because you have to keep up with African leaders who live wealthy lives. Ariels in your country, with no reliable bus service, have to walk 45 minutes back and forth, through dirt roads in the dark just to eat.**

Wasnt necessarily complaining, saddened that he made it to safety but died, could not understand why

The "*group*" swam to a cay, so he was alive at the time. Was he injured? Did he have a health episode?

As said earlier, we have much much bigger issues than "Jonquel".

Did the company change their name to S&L or is that a different company?

Because they dont want the tax income to reflect reality. They want it to reflect their overly optimistic projections

"*“One of the things I think we really need to do in Nassau is rezone many communities currently designated for single-family homes to allow for multi-family housing,” Mr Wilson said yesterday.*"

This is a **baaad** idea. As in hindsight, while well intentioned, Elizabeth Estates was a bad idea. Not so much that it should not have been done, but that the impact on the surrounding peaceful communities had not been thought out and the risks mitigated.

If you want to rezone a community and build 28,000 low cost homes why not try Eastern Road and surrounding areas? The presence of sea views could at least have a calming effect on the new residents

Show us how. Develop a new training regimen for police enforcement/engagement with the public

Weird. Did the event promoter not pay the party permission fee?

The federation should be made to explain on what basis they barred the athletes from performing.
