“To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to times’ relentless melt.” Susan Sontag.
Is the moral fabric of society being ripped apart? Is the cry of our nation’s children falling on deaf ears? Are we neglecting our moral responsibilities? Are we so bored that violence has become entertaining??
Our gadgets are being used as weapons, to record the demise of others and later posted on various social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to provide entertainment. Likes and followers are being pursued as if one’s life depends on it.
A heart-wrenching story has emerged recently where a 17-year-old was brutally beaten and battered, maimed as some would describe it by a group of six vicious women. A night in Barbican, Kingston Jamaica was transformed from a celebratory party to one of mourning when these ladies mobbed Kaylan.
It is unfathomable that our men who are supposed to be natural protectors stood and watch the scene unfold without intervening. Many are in a state of disbelief that females who are normally gentle and caring displayed such barbaric behavior.
Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 says, “For everything, there is a season. A time for every activity under heaven. Despite COVID-19 restrictions such as social distancing and a strict 9 pm curfew implemented by the Government; some residents decided to steal some entertainment to lift their spirits amidst all the devastation. Enjoyment has led to Kaylan battling for life on life support with a 1% chance of survival according to medical authorities. While man disappoints, God appoints his Angels to restore that which is broken. Her mother’s cry will never be in vain. The outpouring of love and support from well-wishers, family, and friends is enough to give us hope that the torn moral fabric of society can be restitched with love, care, prayer, empathy and compassion.
In Jeremiah 30:17 it states that, “For I will restore health to you and your wounds will be healed”, declares the Lord. This declaration is God’s confirmation that he is still in the restoration business. Let’s join hands and hearts, exercise our faith that Kaylan will move from a 1% chance of survival to full recovery. Just as how God restored that which was broken, we can follow in his footsteps to restore the moral fabric by patching it with love, care, empathy, compassion and sensibility. All is not lost as each one can teach one.
“Our God is a Master at turning devastation into restoration.” Church Surindoll

This is really sad. I still can’t come to terms with the story at all. How can we be cruel to our children?
Thank you for sharing; we certainly need to strive to be a better human being.
Women??!! I know you try to do this blog diplomatically by not talking ill of these women, but they are wicked—# tears and prayers for Kaylan.
I cried so hard when I heard this, trying to find out how I can contribute. Do you have any information on this?
I appreciate how you put across this story because its a sensitive story at the moment.
I am praying for her full recovery.
This world can be such a cold place; I’m here wondering why no one intervened before it had gotten to that point. I hope the police lock-up all of them.
praying for her.
I’m at a loss for words. This is outright cruelty.
I am praying for her full recovery. It’s really heart-rending. I hope they get the full extent of the law.
These are definitely the end times as the hearts of men and women have become desperately wicked. #PrayingforKaylan
In the last days men will be lovers of self more than lovers of God, this is a prime example…
As you mentioned about men which should initially be protectors stood and look on, if they had love for God they would’ve seen her as a sister, a daughter, cousin or neighbor to stretch a helping hand to this is the world we now live in and it is so scary and sad but prophetic.
Very sad story. I hope justice is served
Unequivocally this shows that our world has gone into an almost irremediable state when it comes to morals and values.
We are certainly in the last days. Humanity is lost, and many people heart get so wicked.
I’m patiently waiting to hear that they have those women in custody.
This is wrong on every level.
I am shocked! Women behaved like that? Still trying to process it.
Most well-thinking people who are aware of the story are still in shock.
Everything has it season as stated above and we pray Kalyan will return to her mother stronger and healthier than before. The situation is just sad how the actions were done by female “cowards”.
