"Yes it takes a village and the children are usually watched out for - but you also often see them forced to climb into strange men's laps when the pile in the cars. "
Jamaican children are the least watched out for along with the weak, gays, and handicapped. Last year there were 10,000 reported cases of child abuse but no system in place to truly protect so many of them. I work with groups bringing awareness to the plight of children and females in Jamaica.
I am going into foster care, so I am aware this is not a Jamaica thing. However in the US ,there is a system (not perfect) and those willing to provide needed care.
Not everyone will believe these things happen or it wasn't your fault, but its trying to reach one.
