Trinidad – The orphaned 15-year-old schoolgirl who killed herself over a love affair with a 42-year old man working at her school recorded in her diary that “he was like a father to me”.

Rehana Tisha Nandlal, whose parents died before she was ten years old, had sought guidance from the man, who ended up seducing and having sexual relations with her at school and other places.

Nandlal, a Third Form pupil, was found unconscious on the steps of a church on Tuesday, a day after she was reported missing by the sister with whom she lived. She died on arrival at hospital, and police believe she drank poison.

    The hormones and testicles are such a damnation in sad scenarios like this…It is fighting against nature to turn it around,many males can manage the battle,but many cannot ignore the constant urge,especially when the female is unable to disable the “manhood”…
    So remove them,send fear out there to the male population,they will be cut out if you step out of line,especially when it is beyond doubt who is guilty…

    The guy committed suicide by drinking some weedkiller he died ,my point is the schools have counselor she came to you with her troubles you refer her to a school personnel, rather you bed her adding to her troubles,apparently her sister got on her case about it she packed and left, to often we are aware of so much going on with our children we turn a blind eye only when the public begin to gossip and fuss we talk out loud by then it is to late it has permeated the very fabric of our children s morals. Such a tragedy under no circumstance should have occurred, if the school had been on his case for some time in related issues then the education system as well as family members and the community are all responsible for this tragedy.

    Age of consent in Dominica = 16

    Age of consent in France = 15

    Age of consent in China = 14

    Age of consent in Bolivia = 12

    Could someone share with me what yardstick is used to determine which is underage and what ages are okay? Thanks.

    Dominica has so many of those pedophiles. Thats why I believe linient sentences like six months jail for those animals should never be allowed. The court needs to make examples of them.

      God will, in time. His day is coming. She needed help but not in this manner. He took advantage of her innocence and vulnerability.
      May her soul rest in peace. Amen!

    Sad to say that some of the same thing is happening here in Dominica but our women are not killing themselves.Some of you women may not be aware of the damage your boyfriends and husbands are doing to our young people even though things appear nice and cozy at your homes.Thanks to the women bureau that is doing a great job in helping our women overcome.

    I hope the creep who messed up this girl’s life gets to face the maximum penalty permitted under law. He destroyed this girl’s life.

    if you are like a dad to a child where do sexual favors come in that?I really thought these people in Trinidad finish with those maddest.Do you know how many times 42 can be divided by 15? I really wonder if he were a teacher or the yard man or a s
    security officer?

        Someone with a perverted mind, who obviously thinks this sort of sick thing is OK.

        If he has committed suicide, then its a pity as they still hang people in Trinidad.
