Mother bails son on vagrancy charge

A 16-year-old male has been bailed by his mother after being charged with the offence of vagrancy.

“If he [doesn’t] want to listen to me then I will just take out myself from bailing him, but, is my son,” the mother told Magistrate Ossie Lewis this morning after he granted bail to the teenager.

According to the court, the young man has been before the court on several occasions for other matters.

Last month, he was remanded after being accused of unlawfully entering the home of Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan in St Aroment.

His trial was adjourned until March 10, 2010. The bail sum was set to $2,000.

    My mother always say if you kill a child for his mother she wont eat. I know what this mother is going through. She just has to pray and ask god to forgive her if she went wrong when he was younger. BOY I REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE IN YOU!
