Enforce Child Sex Abuse Laws In Jamaica!

In high school I had a friend. We were the same age, about 13 in the 1st form.

One day she invited me to her house – somewhere up in Stony Hill. It was a quiet and secluded little neighborhood.

After arriving at her house, she introduced me to her mother. They lived in a little shack away from civilisation. There was a man sitting on the outside of the house but she didn’t introduce me to him.

I surmised that he was her mother’s companion, perhaps my friend’s stepfather. He was an older man, bearded, wearing tattered clothing smoking a spliff. I guessed he was in his 40’s. He didn’t say anything the entire time.

Later, as she was walking me to the bus stop, I asked about the man. She reluctantly told me that he was her boyfriend. He lived there. Her mother knew that they were having a sexual relationship in the house.

That was when I discovered that this was a part of our culture – a mother will openly allow a man to live in her house and sleep with her under-aged daughter. I didn’t say a word to anyone about it and never asked her about it after that.
