... ‘Change the law! Hang them!’

NADINE CAMPBELL, in the meantime, is planning to focus her energy on helping other women by advocating against violence against women.

“Definitely, because I’m a woman,” she asserted when questioned about it. “I’ve been there already. Thank God mi live fi tell di tale.”

Alleging that she was abused by Lisa’s father, she decided to leave him when her daughter was two years old.

“Mi naw mek my pickney dem see man a hurt mi, a batter-bruise mi, cut me up. Man nuh fi lick woman!”

Campbell added: “As soon as mi put mi baby to rest an’ mi mind start get calmer, where mi can sit down round one computer, everything it takes, I’m going to advocate against violence against women. If I can even form a group.

“We need to change the law. When a woman reports that somebody threatens or abuses her, from that person reach the station, you should carry them to do counselling or something. Yuh can’t let them out back. Threat is serious.

“How can you let me out if I say I’m going to kill somebody? A when me kill the person yuh a go lock me up? It’s too late then. A life is already gone.

“Wi haffi change the law; fi hang dem when dem dweet. Dem a gwaan too bad! Yu wasting taxpayers’ money; yu feeding dem. Dem have time fi laugh and drink while the parents and families are in pain. I’m in pain. Pain, pain, pain! Mi cyaa laugh; mi cyaa happy!”
