Philipsburg:--- Police arrested a 15 year old Sundial School student for ill treating his mother. Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson said the mother D.A.M.H. from Jamaica filed an official report of ill-treatment with the Police Juvenile Department against her 15 year old son who is a student of the Sundial School. D.A.M.H. stated that she was invited by the school management to attend a meeting on Monday morning with regard to her son's behavior at school.
The mother told police that during the meeting she was informed by the management that her son was caught smoking marijuana during a field trip. Henson said the student identified as K.R., also born on Jamaica, became verbally aggressive towards one of the teachers during the meeting and started cursing. Henson said the boy's mother D.A.M.H. tried to correct her son, but he attacked her, striking her repeatedly in her face with his fist. As a result of the attack, the mother suffered fractures to the bone in the left side of her face and had to seek medical treatment at Sint Maarten Medical Center. The student was arrested by police and handed over to the Police Juvenile Department for further investigation.

    The violent propaganda on TV and games lead to this, American culture of war, even against the mother, 15 years of crap education leads to that. Poor mother, sorry she gone through this!

    This is what we get when children have no father's and parents are NO LONGER allowed to correct their children.

    Spare the rod and spoil the child. This child is bound to be a career criminal.

    The police would have been arresting me and not him, he would have been either in the medical center , the graveyard or wondering where his hand that hit me went. It is a stupid law that says parents are not allowed to hit their children.

  • wow
    avatar

    Apparently she hit him first. Violence begets violence all the time. This child is obviously walking around with a lot of anger. He is a threat to himself and the society as a whole. He needs serious counselling, not further anger or jail. Perhaps the folks at Ujima can help him.
    We do have a lot of angry children in our midst. Seek help for them before it gets to this point.
    Lastly, it is way past time that our borders are closed! We are constantly importing trouble for this island as if we don't have enough already, seeing the kind of government that we have. :sad:

  • how long on sxm
    avatar

    Can this news media find out how long the boy has been soon SXM?
    When William Marlin pa**ed the compulsory education for all children, he stupidly allowed parents from other islands to bring their children to benefit from compulsorily education. Some came to SXM just a week before school was opened last year. Compulsory education should have been for the ones who were here already on the island. But as usual, the immigration department and the education department were not working together. I have been predicting this would happen. We have no idea what backgrounds these youth bring with them and what they were exposed to back in Jamaica, St.Domingo, Guyana, Haiti. We have no medical records from these children, psychological back grounds etc....the mothers were on SXM working already, and when compulsary education came, they all sent for their children, many of them teens to come and enter school (at tax payers benefit)

  • Did you know
    avatar

    Compulsary education, yes WM taught he was getting more votes by doing this, but oh how wrong he was. Maybe he can go back to the cla**room now and teach those unruly foreign children. Maybe the depatment of education or a school foundation have somewhere space for you to earn an extra buck to carry on what you created. You know he (WM) is already past 61 years, but because of the shortage of teachers, maybe he can again apply for a job, eventhough he didn't teach for about 18 years but politricking. WM, do you need extra funds? Think about going back before the cla**room and do some serious earning and teaching now. You and your cronies seem to know what is best for the youth, the nation and most of all the people of Dutch SXM.

    Lot's of mothers/parents know their children behavior,sending their children to school hungry,not asking where u got that phone and many other things.Mothers having their different men or women sex mate come to their home,talk all manner of things and in any ways to their children.Leaving their children home hungry and go partying,casino long hours.We all have to hear this disturb child story before condemning him.
    Lot's of us do not want to face they truth,be told the truth but quickly use punishment as a tool.

    Go to our schools and ask how many children is hungry,how many children theirs parents check their home work books.How many of these children have been abuse,how many of these children watch their parents change men/women like there cloths, Some parents also doing two Jobs and believe their children should understand that all this is being done to make them happy and comfortable . Ask who r these children role model.The songs they listen.
    Now when our children start reacting we call the police,let's us all show respect to gain respect.Let's help our children than punishing them for our short falls.Thank God for the Adventist Church that feed some of our children but to those who that do not have to eat and have to stay in school,it SAD.

    Why punish this child,let's help this child so he can be a better person.they are lot's of these children out there even our Police Officers have this same problems with their children.

    Please forgive me if i am wrong in my comment.

    I am listening to all these ignorant comments from people about compulsory education for foreign children, do U really know your own children level of anger if put to the test? as soon as something bad happen blame foreigners! what are u saying the children from SXM families are the angels and all the foreign kids are beasts? PLEASE! pay a visit to your kids teachers and turn up unexpected and see their behavior first hand and U may get a heart attack!
    And to the foolish people who think that the compulsory education is wrong! maybe they themselves needed some compulsory education and then the would have known how important it is to educate kids regardless of the immigration status. They are not going anywhere so U are better off educating them that the don't grow up to be menace of society! When a child is educated he or she is less likely to be an ignorant person in society,
    And many of U that is speaking have some unruly children that have no manners themselves but ya'll quick to jump and criticized other people kids, FIX YOUR HOUSE FIRST BEFORE U FIX OTHERS! take a look at your own kids and straighten them out FIRST before U start pa**ing judgement, shame on ya'll, foreign or local kids the ALL need discipline and training and that begins at home!

    when a person reaches a certain age and they make up their mind to be bad, there is nothing anybody can do to change them, they have to want to change. these things happens more often because of a lack of that father in the children's life. no woman, no matter how hard she tries can teach a boy to be a man. if not a father, he will learn from his friends. when governments over protect children then this is the sad result. the amount of whippings i got growing up and it didn't have any negative effects on me, in fact you look back on it and share the values of it with your own children. but the americans say it will have psychological effects on then when they grow up and we as fools swallow that. what b.s. didn't we use to raise our children with manners and respect successfully for generations ?

    Indeed a very sad situation. As a supporter of a rehab center in sxm I witness yesterday a similar incident. There was no physical action but the verbal abuse by such a youngster was unbelievable. The rage that was display was unbelievable. What do you do, who do you call and what is the solution to this problem that is causing a serious problem within our society.
    The only solution is the establishment of a boot-camp and that Parliament approve laws that make the transfer much more easier and not so complicated. I am willing to be part of any structure that is interested in the development of such a camp. I believe once such a camp has been established we will see a drastic change in the attitude of the school population. Obviously the intention is not to take over the roll of the parents as the parents are responsible for their children. Any such a program required strict participations of both parents. Churches, schools, sports instituitions and clubs need to re-evaluate their programs and addressed the issue of youth violence in all of their programs. We need to begin to established stricter dress codes in all the institutions related to the education of youth.
    The bottom line is they are our children and inspite of their short comings we need to love them and need to help them to overcome their shortcoming. The reason why they are like that is because we the parents have failed to be good parents. The bible tell us to teach them so tomorrow they can walk on their own. Let us acknowledge that we have fail and let us, Parents come together and make a difference for your child. The result is he either ends up 6 feet deep under the ground or locked up in jail for a long time. The choice is yours. Have a blessed day

    Send him back to the Jamaica and let the country government deal with his out of control behavior. This is clearly not St Maarten problem.

    Government have to call or arrange a meeting with the juvenile department in Jamaica, and let them know that St Maarten do not have a juvenile institution for children with behavioral problems. This will be one less space in the box at Cayhill.

    The street leading from Super Plaza to SZV is a breeding ground for drug dealers. They go there to sell drugs to the school children (to school girls also) as if they are selling candy.....What happen to the police bike patrol?.......And the principle, he/she should be at the gate when the youths are coming to school and leaving the school to go home.

    Do this country (St Maarten) a favor and send him to Jamaica, when he pa** the test at the juvenile institution for his behavior St maarten government should consider letting him back in the country. By that time he will be a man, paying his own bills and not depending on his mother.

    A Father who loves his child chastises him. Correction/ discipline in a child's life, from the very beginning of his life, is essential.

    However, some parent(s) know not how to discipline a child. In their anger (when their patience runs out) they would beat the child....often not caring where the belt/wire/tree bush/hand/ lands on the child body.

    Some parents would go so far as to use their fist on a child.

    If this Sint Maarten does not educate (young and old) the parents on how to be a parent, there will be problems. We are dealing with people (Jamaican, Dominican, Hatian, etc.) that have a different cultural background than we do. If we do not pa** on our own fundamental values then what do you expect.......these people will hold on to what they know.

    There are many young angry Jamaicans out there......that is no suprise. Have you ever hear a Jamaican mother speak and beat her child?? I have. The manner in which they speak to their child is very different.....they speak to them as if they are an adult...not a child.

    The young spanish kids you see.....be not fool by the age. Often they have raised to be little "Marias".

    No secret but it is not something we openly discuss. Just like we do not discuss they amount of your kids being rape by family member(s), parent(s), school peers, or strangers.

    If these are the Sint Maarten future then the future looks very bleak indeed.

    I suppose they will blame the behavior on the use of POT now when its actually because you cant discipline your kids properly anymore.

Came to America when I was 12 and my mother raise me just like her mother raise her and the tradition continue !! Island style !! And not one of her children are in a gang or in jail and all the bad things that go with American stereotypes!! We are not involved in ...This mother is probably trying her best "don't know the full story ""with him ...But It's not the first time he did this to her ..

    The boy got behavior problems and that's exactly why the school called his mother in to discuss the issue. Hitting him back won't solve anything because he'll use his fist to fight back again. He need anger management to control his anger and learn never to put his hands on anyone again

    My God people please stop all this nonsense about the foreigners and the bashing of nationality! Do you know how you grown folks sound like? Every time something happen the bloggers get personal and start pointing fingers.
    What we all need to do as concern persons on this Island is to start banding together and stand in unity. You see what you are saying in the blog you are actually saying it in your respective homes. Your children, no matter how young are learning all the hate from you.
    Children are born with no biases! we feed it to them! what we see reflected in the children on this Island is our own reflection.
    You and I are the quilty ones. So please stop and reflect and ask your self the question, Im I really such a negative human being, is this what I realisticly want my children to think of me?
    The good old days were the best! We are losing this future generation to the streets and crime. We need to start protecting and investing in our future generation,

    Yes the children are angry because we have disapointmented them. We are depriving them of the very things that we boast about, morals, values, and a better up bringing.
    we were supposed to do it better than our parents did, but some where along the way we forgot!!!!

    Please stop the hate preaching and lets save our children.

    I am feeling this mothers hurt. maybe she came to sxm many years ago and left her son in the care of others.Not having papers to go back home, her son dont know her only by phone.he didnt have a mothers love and dont know her as a mom. She in turn cant cut his a** cause he is biggerthan when she left him and mayb taller than her. what to do? get a broom stick and play ba**ball on his a** and play crazy!!!!!

    You men that married these women and allow to bring their unruly children to live in Sxm, shame on you. Some of you do not even know how rude or how big the kids are until they come here.
    To disgust, I guess your are a foreign teacher who got the opportunity to "teach" here. Marlin left space for you by removing himself from the cla** room enabling you to look down on Sxm children. "Fix our house first", are you for real :o, nothing was wrong with our house until we let you all in. So hold up a minute. :sad: :sad: ;-) ;-)

  • let keep nationality out
    avatar

    the epedemic that we are face with has nothing to do with nationality. it is happening right here with our own, but because of shame we try to cover thigs up. untill we bring back god in our daily lives worse than this is going to take place. We do not know the root of his problem, there might be many factors. Dispite what ever the circumstances, putting him in prison with no professional counceling will only result in him going back to prison a second time for something worse like murder. We already have the problems lets find a solution. We need boot camps like was suggested in previous blogs. The children needs to understand that in order to progress in a positive way they need to have ultimate respect for oneself and others as well. He should not be let back in any school period untill he gets professional counseling. As a suggestion, once a chid reaches a certain age and migrates to the island they need to have a police record to be able to enter our secondary schools period depending on the age it should be applied for elementary schools as well. What is sad, many of these social issues are not being address by our governing representives

    Now it was very sad what to that mother. Now am a father myself. Here is where we father fail. We need to be roll model to are boys. Father need to stop acting like little boys and start being a father to their kids. This young man needs help. What he did by far is out of place. He needs a father figure in his live.
    I feel really bad for that lady. Now mother should never have to go through that, and worst from her own child.
    Sad day..........

  • Hmmm,
    avatar

    It all begins at home, some women are lucky and some ain't, to have the father of there kids help them rear them in the proper way, when a child is partly grown up with both parents present it is hard for children to see there parents split, they carry things around!! For example, I have a friend of mine that is divorced with 3 kids for her x, does he support the kids? No, does it spend time with them? No, men tend to look at women as if they are not human beings, they don't get tired and we all know when we are tired we are frustrated! I have seen my friend struggle until she was going out of her mind, 2 jobs, 3 kids, bills and no break to catch herself, well her oldest son saw his father with his new girl friend and her kids, why is it that a man can support another man kids but not his own?? well my friend son when he got home he cursed and rant about the treatment from his dad!! his mother hugged him and he actually pushed his mother to the floor.... Some men have no idea what they do to there kids, this mother never reported her son because she is busy showing him the difference between the father and her self!! there is no type of protection on this island for women in this situation! mother work harder, longer hours for there kids while the men run to make beds in other homes!!

  • think before u act
    avatar

    I does really try to understand how some of u grown folks does think . Yes he was wrong for puttin his hands on his mother. no where or no how was it his right to do so. but on the other hand the child has feelings. and the mother did not take in to consideration of her childs feelings when she slapped him over n over again in front of his teachers and probably his cla**mates either. so its just to show u all who running ur mouth that the child has to get this anger from somewhere. and if the mother didnt know that her child was smoking and to make it worse on a field trip. she needs to look at what she as a mother is doing to know her childs interets and why he is interested in these things.

    Sorry for what happened to her bout a child only know what he is taught in this case which was when we are angry he hit over and over till something is broken.

    As for those blaming immigration and police and teachers and everyone else but themselves. If u aint goin to do something to make the situation better I suggest that you take a back seat and let those who are trained to deal with the situations do there jobs. Because obviously u arent doing anything to make the situation better.

    And SXM offers parenting cla**es so I think alot of u needs to look into to these cla**es and learn the new techinques that are being brought foward on how to deal with your children. CLEARLY WE SEE THAT HITTING THEM ISNT DOING NTN BUT MAKING THEM INTO THE CHILDREN WE PRAY FOR THEM NOT TO TURN INTO.

    avatar

    All of those people commenting that a child need a father figure to survive my question is this, when a woman willfully gets pregnant for another woman's husband that already have a family how can that father figure be in two houses at the same time! U make your bed hard so now U have to lay on it, and many of U who is commenting right now are in relationships with people who are committed to someone else and Ya'll want to give advise, woooooo. The kids react to what the see their both parents doing, so women stop blaming the men for not being there and for once do research on the men first before U lay with them and produce children, because this is the price to pay and the kids are the only ones to suffer!
