Government is offering a $20,000 reward for any leads to finding Shanice Jemmott who has been missing for one month now.
The latest figure brings the total reward up for Jemmot’s discovery to $35,000, with the other contributions put up by her family and private sector.
Jemmot, a Layou resident, spent her 15th birthday away from home last Sunday.
Kelver Darroux Member of Parliament for St. Joseph said he is concerned that amidst all efforts by government, police, and some Dominicans to find the missing teenager there are those who are giving false information regarding her whereabouts.
“We find that there are a lot of persons out there who continue to give information which is misleading and this must stop because this is a very serious matter,” Darroux stated firmly.
He added, “She’s been missing for over a month now, her family is in dire need of assistance and support and when you have malicious persons out there giving misleading information it really tends to break down the family. No matter what the situation is, the reality is that she is a child. Some persons may have all their ideas and so forth but she’s a child and she needs to be found and she needs to return to her family.”
boy, i dont know but i hope she ok. however i must say if she ran away without at least leaving a note then she is a harsh kid. really harsh.
thay looking the wrong place for that young woman the police should to go up to the hillsbro estate were DBS has there A.M tower search the whole area then put out an international block on her traveling out side Dominica that girl might be with some one it could be male. holding her up in the hills, some place.
I continue to pray for Shanice’s recovery…Dear Lord, please send your guardian angels to surround this child in the name of Jesus…Please lead the people with the actual information about her whereabouts to do the right thing and report to authorities so the child can get home to her family…Soften the hearts of these people dear Lord….
I also pray for parents and communites to be more proactive in protecting our young….For the Devil comes to kills, steal and destroy..but You Lord come to give life and give life more abundantly…
In the name of Jesus, I renounce Satan and all the evil spirits working against this child and our youth in the Name of Jesus…and I pray for Your Holy Spirit to fill the lives and hearts of your children, your people and your country…In Jesus’ name… -Amen
Maybe she is not in a position to escape. I pray that God sends her home safely.
Well, as it would be great to find Shanice safe and sound, am brokes now. $35,000 can block a huge hole. Need to work on this.
Yes she is a child but if shanice wanted to be found dont you think she would make a way? if she was given opportunities to go to the shop why didnt she use them to inform people or the shop keeper who she is? I just hope she’s safe and she will return home to her family.
Where ever you are you are still in our prayers
who told you she went to the shop ? did you see her thats the problem we have always they say and we repeat . i can imagine the things you use that mouth of yours to say .
O God ,please keep this child safe
pleas tell me were can i go to find a follow up story on this child
this story gives me goosebumps i don’t know one thing bout this child but i feel for this family cause i resently lost a child at least there is hope that they can still get there child back may god guide u back to ur family my dear
i dont really know the story of this missing child but one thing i know she is a child and dont matter how she left home she needs to return to her family . people wakeup if you know anything about this child please tell the police . remember the last words of our anthem all for each and each for all . and stop that thing just seeing i and myself alone . i will look on the ghetto in guadeloupe were allot of our young people love to be authorities should also check with the DOMINICA ASSOCIATION in GUADLOUPE I am not saying thats were she is you never know.
this is a new kind of crime for dominica.
the police and those concerned ,should take a serious look at all these shady foreigners in the area.
all of them.
WE have to think of all the possibilities.. Not sure if that was already done….but what about the ports, if she left the island would there be a record of her exit?. Unless she was carried away illegally. There is so much illegal trade going on these days…human trafficking for all types of reasons including young girls to be used as prostitutes..it may sound alarming but it is happening in the Caribbeanyoung girls are inticed with promises of a better life then are forced to work in foreign countries as prostitutes . I hope that is not the case.
I’m really elated that there have been assistance from the government and other sources to quicken the investigion for the safe return of this young lady.
I would be realy disappointed however if ths entire disappearance didn’t need the upheaval and concern it has caused amongst the Dominica Society…
I pray for her safe return!
Bondiay, where is that child nuh??
Agreed Mr. Darroux. She is a child. I pray that she is found.
the exact same things i was talking about and everybody was checking i was bad to say such things
Admin use to either edit my comment or delete it all together
Now every body thinking what i was thinking from the start
i just think i way ahead of the game than some of you
What i saying is that: the same guy that is the suspect wasn’t earlier on in that case
If u can remember there was WANTED photos up for this guy for unrelated crimes (not for the disappearance of Shanice) and now all of a sudden he is a suspect..
What i trying to say is that they are not telling us everything..
Dear Shanice,
This dilemma of yours really concerns me, and I hope that you are alive and well, wherever it is that you are right now. Everyone say this must be tough on your family, for not knowing your whereabouts. But what about you? You’re so young and so so vulnerable. It may be even tougher on your part, I can only imagine the turmoil in your mind. The young man in question really ought to be handled by the law if he’s the cause of your disappearance. If the situation happens to be one where you left with him willingly…if you’re in a position to hear a radio, read a newspaper, browse the internet…we plead with you Shanice to consider the emotional pain and distress which you’re not only causing to your family but to yourself and everyone who has heard your story by now. This guy CANNOT love you, no matter how you think of it. You’re only a child and should have no business running away from home to be with a man twice your age. Mentally, Shanice, you’re not ready for that aspect of life yet. And if the situation is one where you were kidnapped and being held against your will, we as a nation pray for the intervention of our Heavenly Father. May He keep you safe in this tragedy, may he strike down any evil plan that the devil might be concocting for you, may he soothe any suffering that you may be enduring right this minute and eventually bring you back to the loving circle of your family; the place you call home.
May God be with you Shanice, and may your family find comfort in He who does not give us more than we can bear.
Are you assuming that she ran away with this guy?
You obviously did not read the entire comment from “yes, fada” as if you did, you would not be asking such a question? Let’s take time to read and understand before responding.
now you are alive :
You have to explore all the possibilities my friend
everyone is assuming she did….hello word of mouth spreads..like kelver said..misleading stories should be stopped as it creates more pain for the family…god put a hand return her safely..no matter how she left..willingly or forcefully
You’re comment makes alot of sense. You’ve mentioned every posible scenario.
IF Shanice is with this guy, and they have left Dominica, wouldn’t she need her passport or some form of ID.
IF she is still in Dominica, I find it difficult to understand how NO one has come forward with information. It seems that nothing in Dominica is private, there is always someone minding someone elses business. I’m sure the idea of ‘neighbourhood watch’ was started in Dominica.
To all those who continue to spread gossip (without facts), stop and think of the hurt you are causing a already broken hearted family.
yes child as in CHILD .she belongs to somebody
ONE LOVE what do you know and you are not telling us? Sound like you know more than you are willing to share.
That took time…
Better late than never but I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s out of Island or dead right now because it’s been a month now and that’s not good in any country
Hope we are collaborating with the French authorities as she may well be on their shores or passed through there. I just hope we’re not too late
i agree that she’s a child and all that.dominica is a very small country and its been over a month now am just wondering if she really wants to be found.
Has the authorities been working with the other islands???
It appears that the govt is indeed listening to the talk shows and responding appropriately. Wonderful!!
I agree with your statement 100%. We human beings like to judge persons. It doesn’t matter how bad a person is, the fact is is a mother that make her and she is a child. Too often when things happen we want to be judge, jury and executioner. I pray to God that she is still alive and may she get comfort wherever she is, To the family, I can only tell you to be of good courage and be strong.
where is that child,,, i want this child n the guy to be found,,, i want a good example to be made of this man,,, ,,,, but the heart of men is so wicked,,, people know about the child but not speaking,,, wat about them guys who do backdoor on boats,,, go to hot spots n investigate,,, go to calibishie,,, possie,,,
ALL U HAVE TO DO IS LEAVE YOUR PC AND START DOING SOME SEARCHING TOO. I WONDER IF ITS NOT YOU WHO GOT HER WITH ALL THETALKING YOU DOING FROM THE SOUTH.
Sadist
For your sake, in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke this thought that Satan spoke through you against Mots.
Boy/girl, man/woman, the person that you are; I advise you that we must think carefully, before we reveal the thing that is in our mind.
Our tongue, speaking our thoughts, or as you have done expressed it in writing, can be a weapon against our selves. We cannot speak jugdment against people, the way you did against Mots. It would have been better to simply give him a thumbs down. Try to understand!
ToLizavier4Jesus,
Cudos to you…I love your response….Time and time again people are do quick to be destructive with their tongues….And it is time for us to start building each other up with positivity and prayer….
Your “name” is Sadist and you profess Jesus Christ? Am I missing something?
so calibishie alone then..your name is mouth of the south,,,y dont you check in the south first
that was late!!!!!!!!!!
This child cannot be still in Dominica. Has the authorities been working with the other islands? Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua Etc.? This must be so tough on the family. They may have to start expanding their own search to include the other islands. Might be costly but very necessary. May you find peace in this difficult time.
