Dominicans really wicked eh. Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites. Mr Mervin while I am strongly against the sexual abuse of women, whether children or adults I have to also remind you sexual abuse is not the only thing destroying the young people lives today. Drugs is also finishing their lives. Wink wink wink
My brother, I applaud you for your stance against our sisters and young princesses abuse by heartless brothers. Keep up the good work.
PEACE!
This noble and inspiring event has assumed a parochial dimension in some circles which is unfortunate….
DNI…if this is a duplicate, where is the original?!
It is unfortunate that this noble and inspirational venture seem to have assumed a.parochial dimension in some circles
Is this a decoy?!!!8
His lone action speaks volumes
I salute you Sir Mervin Jno. Baptiste. You are a REAL MAN and a Hero for all those who have suffered such heinous crimes at the hands of those cowardly pedophiles.
Great job marvs .let’s not stop chanting against this evil actions….the devil is at work..
Good job sir. We need more men like you.
This society is so one sided ….what about the many young boys who get sexually abused…both male and females n boys and girls are involved focus on all genders ……..
young boys are not children? Since when?
Hats off to a son of the soil Mervin Jno Baptiste. He is not afraid to speak his mind.
Where can i find a man like that? One I can trust to change my child diapies when I’m at work lol
So holding up a placard already fool your head? How difficult it is to do this? IF that’s how you chose a mate your children in trouble papa
It is my opinion that sexual or physical abuse of women should be dealt with separate from child abuse and sexual molestation.
What are you talking about? The sign is in solidarity with women, “females” and it doesn’t matter how old that female is. And it is dealt with separately, because it is different in the sense that pedophiles molest and sexually abuse children. Children are innocent and defenseless, they are scared and terrified when it happens and they are scared to tell, whereas women know what is happening to them, but sometimes choose how to deal with the crime, because of past abuse some of them never report it.
really? i agree that these men if found guilty should be held accountable and punished to the full extend of the law however i disagree with something that you said which is “Children are innocent and defenseless, they are scared and terrified when it happens and they are scared to tell” i’m sorry but it hardly seems that in this particular case that this young lady was scared and terrified. infact she has several sexual videos circulating at the moment. some of which she is the only participant. yes we have to deal with the issue of child molestation/abuse however we parents have to be more watchful of our children, girls and boys and protect them the best way that we can.these men have always been around and will continue to be around until we open our eyes and not our hands when these men open up their wallets.
Indeed but in light of of recent events, I think the focus on child abuse and sexual molestation is quite appropriate.
All sexual exploitation should be treated with the utmost severity, regardless of the victim’s age or gender.
Good job Mervin. You inspired many today.
Wonderful, Bless him.
Big Statement Mervin. Respect the Children. Big men must find big women to do their nonsense with.
Sexual abuse is not the only form of abuse nor is today based on recent incidents surfacing in the airwaves.
That’s it Mervin. We need more voices for women. We also need them to understand that they are worth more than they think. He strong women.
Following the October Revolution, the Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai persuaded Vladimir Lenin to make [March 8th, International Women’s Day] an official holiday in the Soviet Union….Kollontai believed that, like the state, the family unit would wither away once the second stage of communism became a reality. She viewed marriage and traditional families as legacies of the oppressive, property-rights-based, egoist past.”
Mervin has always advocated for children and women in Dominica. Like a lone wolf he daily reports on the ills of grown men abusing children. Thank you Mervin for your tireless work
Good example. I wish more men would join you.
People like him is the reason why i dont wear colours. See who is wearing purple. Look into your heart such your soul.
You don’t act based on other people’s actions/deeds. If you were to do that, would you go to church? Would you take part or be part of a group of persons whom you know are not pure? We all have sinned and no one is perfect .. but we can aspire to do better, and if we are aiming and by our actions and deeds, one can see the fruits, then who are you to condemn or pass judgement? Are you better than him? What are you doing to support the cause? Please provide us with an alternative. We are always too quick to bring down other people when our hearts are stained black.
As I see it……… Do you have any thing to say about the message?
Short the hell off, whoever you are seems like the truth hurts, you choose not to eear purple that’s you, no one of us is perfect including myself, we all makes mistake in life, you pointing figures at the guy, who knows maybe thousands fingers pointing at you, and you also need to search your soul/heart. Mervin appreciate what you did today and continue standing for children and woman, and to this person the guy was brave to come out and show his face, instead of you hiding infront of your PC or what ever device you used to throw your stone, be brave, use your real identity instead of that fake name
As I see it. You wish you were making sense but with people like you others do not need enemies. You trying to make noise with your words but they are really senseless, wheel and come again.
As I see it
Stop making noise with yourself. You better wheel and come again.
Good job Mervin.
