Crime - the eradication over the years of the ingredient called Family’s root cause for crime. Young ones growing up in an unbalanced unit far from criticising single mothers many have done an incredible job, but you have the disaster of the 25 percent who failed.

I am of African heritage. I observe we rarely see those of the minority, the Caucasians - Conchie Joes - being hauled in front of the Courts. Their children go to the same schools, play together, smoke the weed and drink. Yes, usually although changing comes from a two-person family unit, but you rarely see them crossing the Law.

Less talk - wasting horrible amounts of money which we don’t have - less spin - work on reinstating the Family. Not easy as it is virtually a dinosaur amongst us, the majority. The Bahamas is no longer a society that goes to church - that’s a good place to start.

This is the essential issue - admit it, we screwed up on family.
