Parents take responsibility and educate your children in right and wrong, guidance is lacking in the BVI.
I witnessed a woman in the supermarket slapping a 3 year old around the head, I was told to mind my own business and found this distressing and sad. This will be passed down to the next generation, just like domestic violence. Communicating with kids and being a role model is absent here in many familie.
“Communicating”. Sign language works best,right upside the head.
If you behaved this way in USA, UK and many many more countries you would find yourself arrested for child abuse. Think about that and perhaps google the long term effect of your stone age behavior before embarrassing yourself.
