The Ghetto Youths International singjay told the Gleaner that he believes more birth control could help eliminate the epidemic.
“As a Jamaican, it’s a horrible feeling that so many people are on the corners begging. I always give them a little of what I have when I can. I even know some of them on a first-name basis because I interact with them.”
“There are a lot of areas that the Govern-ment needs to pay attention to, but the homeless need to be put in a safe place. I went to Nigeria and as soon as the bus approached a certain area, about 50 homeless kids were running it down and begging. I fear Jamaica could reach that level.”
“The fathers and mothers have a role to play. These homeless kids have or had parents at some point. Parents must now gauge themselves on how much children you can manage – one man all have four kids and don’t know how he will support them. There is also an issue of teenage pregnancy, which might be a cause as well.”
Weigh in below in comments.
Do you think birth control can help eliminate homelessness and unwanted pregnancies?
I have to commend u on this Wayne. We have sat by and let a whole of stuff slipped and now the youths who should be the next generation paying for it. We need to get back the young people of jamaica or nay god have mercy on all of us.
