Lisa Hanna frustrated with the increased spate of murders in the country

How many times are we going to come to Parliament and bemoan, decry, and express condolences every time a child is killed? How Many more children must die in Jamaica at the hands of ‘mentally ill’ people who need help?

Signs of sociopathic, psychopathic, masochistic, and even misogynistic behaviors are exhibited at an early age. Why are we missing the signs? The carefully curated narrative we’ve built for ourselves to justify people who need counseling is outdated.

We need urgent readjustment with modern scientific approaches to help our children struggling with behavioral disorders so that they don’t grow up to strangle people and go to work thinking that’s normal.

We can’t keep doing things the same way – watching with our eyes wide shut as criminals spawn, breed & grow—a criminal neva born big. Let’s face some truths – It took decades to get here, and it’s time to invest in long-term social solutions. Let’s start with collective response, discipline, and courageous cooperation to end this civil war or murder and mayhem on our island.

The killing and hurting of our people should not be a political issue; it’s about ALL of us and how we plan to operate going forward. It’s ALL hands on deck to end this seeming epidemic.

My heart goes out to the parents, teachers, friends and relatives of the slain Chetwood Memorial Primary Students.
