The only way that the government officials will do something about the crimes in the Bahamas, is when it starts to affect tourism, or their families ! Mothers, fathers,clergymen, teachers, and leaders! please talk to our young men and young women about self worth, self love and respect of others and themselves! What is wrong with our young people ? they are complaining about there are not enough jobs, when they are distrespecting the teachers, (who are underpaid) and are getting thrown out of school, knowing that without education, you cannot get a decent job, so therefore, the only alternative will be crime. I beg you (young people) to please stop the killings, and get your education. Pretty soon there will be people of a certain age group (missing) due to death or prison! Iam a Bahamian, (living in the U.S.A) and it saddens me when I read the newspaper and see the stuff that goes on in my country,that makes me not want to live there anymore, let alone visit, soon the tourists (that pays many people's bills) will do the same.So, get on your elected people's back , to make the place safe for everyone. whew !! thanks for listening and have a blessed day.
