Yes, I was told by a friend that his mother had recently died of the flu and he was homeless. They said he had always been in trouble and that people that know him weren't surprised that it was him. I don't know what to do with our students. I drive a school bus, most kids are fine but occasionally you get one that just has problems.

What has happen to our society that our young people would commit such senseless crimes. I don't understand. I tend to believe that it's a lack of family values and church. You could name numerous reasons, but it all starts at home. Family time and support, with the Bible taught in the home gives us values to live by. What happened to helping our neighbors? Now were afraid of them. We go in and quickly lock our doors. Senseless loss of life. I pray for all of these families. I'm here enjoying your beautiful island, and I've been asking people about a friend I would like to find. They are very hesitant to help. I don't blame them. They don't know me. That is the world we live in now. I am glad I wasn't born any later in time than I was. I wouldn't trade the life I've had with family and close neighbors. Sitting on the porch watching the kids play, drinking tea. What is this play date stuff. If we wanted to play we went to the neighbors to play. We didn't even lock the doors. My grandmother used to feed the guys that train jumped. She would put the leftovers on the screen porch and they would come and eat. They never bothered anything. They were just down on their luck and were glad to get a good meal. i think they called it the good ole day! lol I'll hush now. God Bless the Families of the one loss in this senseless crime.

True!

Absolutely I don't see how you guys make end meet at all with the high cost of living and unemployment being so high. It is the cause of the crime rate.

Truth1068 your right. When a tourist is killed it will hurt tourism for a long time. You know we as women do always watch our backs, but yes there are plenty of places that we feel safe out alone. I read article after article in this paper how even you guys don't feel safe. That is scary. I will be in Nassau this week. I used to walk everywhere. I don't do that anymore. A woman alone doesn't have much of a chance up against a man. Also I believe that a lot of people think that Americans are rich and that makes us a target for robbery. Well let me tell you, most of us can't wait until Friday for our pay checks. Employment is good in the US but our bills and food take moist of our money. If I did have a lot of money I wouldn't walk down the street with it in my pocket. The diamonds in my ears, cubic zirconia. We already paid 3,000.00 dollar on average to visit for a week. Your island is beautiful we spend it just for a taste of paradise. Thirty years ago I walked Freeport from one side to the other and never had anyone bother us, but times have changed. I am looking forward to my visit. Where's the best place to go for Valentines Day. I will pay for a cab, instead of walking. Of course I would travel with a friend. I'm coming in hopes of finding him.

Domestic abuse is a problem everywhere, it's not just a Bahamian problem. I've always be shown respect from the opposite sex. If a man did abuse me I would be gone. I'll be in Nassau this week, I hope to find a old friend. I was always taken care of. I miss him very much. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

Actually if it gets physical it's a automatic three days in jail. Male or female, sometimes both, if they both hit each other.

Right now in the US opposing parties are dragging up anything or anyone that will expose any dirty laundry on someone to intentional destroy them. It's ridiculous. It has cost many men their jobs. If you didn't report a incident for decades and now suddenly you want to. Well I smell a rat.

Thanks, All is true!

Don't you think most abuser's are extremely jealous people. They are accomplishing exactly what they don't want to happen with their actions. I would love to be in the arms of the man that loves me. My soft place to fall.
