and seriously where are the parents of those kids in all this? they should not be only examining loitering kids but clearly there is a deeper issue which is that of parenting in st. lucia. why cant those kids make their way back home as they should? why are they allowed to be out loitering city streets after school? oh i forgot, the kids are not the parents problems, they just breed them indiscriminately, the teacher baby sitters often abused by permissive parents, are off duty after school. st lucians who we fooling - too much parental irresponsibility! that is the heart of the problem!
We have loitering students because we have taken away too much control away from the parents and have made education 'free'.
Or, that is how some people are thinking. But there's a cost. There is a cost to society. That is because nothing is free. Nothing is free of cost. Nothing is free of course.
The 'needs testing' that some think is the answer is administratively very expensive and prone to some serious unethical practices.
The real answer is to educate the female youth. This moderates the unsustainable tendency of children having children.
This reduces the population bulge and abnormal growth in the population pyramid. Reduces the crime rate. Reduces the cost of providing basic necessities and infrastructure like a potable water system at affordable prices or rates, and so on and so forth.
@ 10:34am & 11:32: such rubbish; you two need to take a PILL! young people all over the world "hang-out" in malls after school. It is the duration of this behavior that becomes a problem. So the so called 'stakeholders' have to be balance and thoughtful in their approach.Remember 'limming' in the mid-sixties?...so don't go criminalizing the children for what you might have done in your youth.
O.K.,O.K. it's been a long time but when I was that age, I would better find my ass at home after school or else.
The few libraries we had was always full of those who preferred to study and to get ahead.
"THE GARDENS"(George the Fifth Park) was a place we would gather to play various games. Free of drugs, and the accompanying filth, deafening loud songs, etc. etc.
The youth of today have no idea how lucky they are. Our parents had to pay for school fees and some months it was very difficult; everything was difficult but thank God we made it.
Thank God for people like Sir Garnet Gordon, Hon. Mr.Carasco, Rt.Hon. George Charles and honourable "MEN" like that. Sorry to say, what we have today, self serving those who see after themselves first, then......
The Churches have failed, the City Council have failed, Minister for youth and the Rep: for Castries failed, every elected member failed, now ultimately your parents (if any) failed you.
Any better days ahead?
To each his own, 2:26 PM. Mine are "not at risk". So, speak for yourself.
2:26,
Sad to see, that like so many of ignoramuses shoot-shating about the place like our politicians commonly do, you believe that you can put the genie back in the bottle. I have news for shoot-shatters like you. The world is moving far more rapidly than it was 10 and 15 years ago.
Nowadays, the youth have far more attractions than just what used to be in a "lime" of your youthful daze. Fool yourself if you wish to continue to think that the world has stood still since you used to lime about the place.
Jackass citizens like you have never ever made a country great, nor a safe place in which to live.
Just listen to the news and watch the parade of the lost and psychologically DAMAGED young people being arrested and being taken to prison. And that is addition to those being wasted in our newly-created ghettoes in their gang wars as if they were road-kill.
@2:26, I am still a youth, but your comment shows your stupidity. No I did not hang out in the streets or in malls after school. There was university to plan for and offcourse a life beyond the streets with several kids and absent fathers the curse of the caribbean culture
