[LadyDeath]

Well if i can post up my whole IA and let allure read it i will.........We know the situation here guys about domestic violence and over 100 women die every year due to this. We only hear about the government doing something and the police but what have they done..i have gather some evidence to show you all

Diana Mahabir Wyatt a CANADIAN WOMAN THAT CAME HERE AND SETTLED TO FIGHT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE-

’We have not had any money donated for the past three years. We have been using our general funds from the Coalition for any counselling of children,’ she said on Friday, while lamenting the fact that sexual abuse of children was growing in T&T.

She said that while the Ministry of Social Development has been approached on numerous occasions for assistance, no help has been forthcoming.

From SOLANGE SEALE ANOTHER PERSON WHO HELPS WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

It is one of the most successful programmes in the country, but people don't care. We can spend $850 million on a stadium but we can't spare $300,000 for Child Line, which is used by 700 children every month. Very little money is put into getting anything done for children," she fumed. "Because children don't vote."

I HATE THIS GOVERNMENT.So you know how many children the organizations want to help but they are waiting on the money from the government but they giving them a hold up. The most people who are affected by domestic violence is children and they are our future and if we do not help them then its our fault for how they grow up and they gov't not realizing that
