Less than eight years after it was established, the Secret Gardens Monument in downtown Kingston is running out of space to record the names of Jamaica's children killed under violent and tragic circumstances.
The Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC) last week added another 214 names to the monument located at the intersection of Church and Tower streets almost in the heart of downtown.
That brings the number of names of Jamaica's children killed in under 12 years (2004-2016) and placed on the monument to 664.
The latest names added to the monument last week were of children killed between 2011 and 2015.
Now, there are concerns that the space left on the monument can accommodate only 20 more names, and at the rate we are killing our children, it could take a few painful months to shamefully fill the space.
