  • The monument design was silly from the get-go

    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.

    Why don't you design a better monument--and send it to the folks who are in charge.

    There's always an opportunity to contribute. One byproduct is that you could make a few bucks in the process. No?
    The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

      It is simple - just don't include names!

      These kids are not casualties of war or the Tivoli incursion. Children will continue to be killed in Jamaica for some time, unfortunately.

      So, yes, almost anything I design would be better than this.
