I know that this may sound hard…I am seeing an out of control murder rate in Jamaica – the second highest in the world. Certainly the death penalty won’t solve the problem, I know, but it is hard to see the children ages one to seventeen… die violently. What should we do?

I didn't realize that there wasn't a death penalty in JA! My solution seems pretty much impossible, but one we could pray for.... that would be to somehow educate and promote stronger morals and christian faith within the family. Maybe if there was something the religious orginizations could do and possibly have the goverments backing and support. There are soooo many factors that contribute to the mortality rate in JA...besides starting with the family, the need to rid of corruption within the justice and police system would be another angle. It sure would be nice to see something start somewhere though!
