My Friend's Daughter Is Living There In The Bahamas, She Is 14 And White. Since She Moved There In Nov She Has Become Very Sexually Active, Well She Is Trying To, She Is On My Space And Talking To Older Boys And Either Meeting With Them Or At Least Talking To Them On The Phone. We Are Terrified What Can Hapen. We Are Also Worried About Her Getting A Bad Reputation And Spreading Amoung The Island. Her Father Runs A Business There And I Think It Could Hurt The Business Too. Our Biggest Fear Is Her Getting Raped,catching A Vd, Pregnant ! I Guess What I'm Trying To Ask Is How Do Bahamians React To A Girl Like That ? And What Is The Rape Statistics ? Or Any Info That You Might Think Would Be Helpful Thank You

Is it that she's acting out and reacting badly to moving, i.e. a situation that she has no control over? Have you talked to her? What has she said?

But anyway, to try and answer your question; these islands aren't as safe as they used to be and society still has negative conotations about "fresh young girls" (when I say 'fresh', I mean precocious (sp?)). I don't know the rape stats or the VD stats; however, your main concern is getting your daughter back on track. Good luck to you.

She's 14 right? Shouldn't any dialouge be with the father? I mean? Why is her being white an issue? What makes her different than any 14 year old girl?
Is this an effort to ask for public help to solve poor parenting?:confused:

call the police. she is a minor.

Correct me if I'm wrong,but aren't teenage girls all over the world having sex & acting up?

I think Bahmia is right in that maybe there is a reason she is acting out. I presume that she was not behaving like this before she came to The Bahamas. If this is new behaviour, then the family needs to look at the reasons for this change. If she was already showing signs of promiscuity, then that also needs to be looked at. Sending her to live in a new country (if that is the case) especially at her age, is not going to solve the problem. There appear to be deeper issues here.

It is no safer here than anywhere else....no worse either, but her behaviour could get her into serious trouble. Any sexual activity with someone under 16 is statutory rape. Where is her mother in all this?

I agree. I say call the Police

This a strange one indeed. Word of advice...... follow everyone's advice.... call the police, contact social services, speak to her school, but most importantly tell her daddy dem they need to deal with their child. It ain't no different in the Bahamas than it is abroad. We have the social services and community services but the buck starts and stops with her home. If daddy too busy making money and not checking for his child and child to busy loving Bahmian boys that in no way could affect the Bahamas.

To me it reflects on that family and where they come from.. that's a reflection on her and her family's social structure and morals. So don't blame us! Blame her daddy dem!

Bahamas is like no other country. Bahamian male would not disappoint her if that is what she is looking for. You ask some serious questions. But generally, Bahamians are caring and if a neighbour or someone who knows this young girl sees anything out of the ordinary, the would intervine, trust me.

We are generally a conservative people.

bullcrap! we are nosy, loud mouthed & crass!

I dont get this post for real. What Im confused about is what does her being white have to do with anything really? The same thing that can happen to a young girl trying to grow up too fast in the Bahamas is the same thing that could happen to her anywhere else I would imagine, be it getting raped, catching a disease or getting pregnant, and it doesnt matter what the rape statistics out there exist. Cuz even if we say rape rarely happens in the Bahamas, she could wind up being one of the rare victims anyway, so stats would only give you a false sense of security, or an undue sense of fear.

What role does her father play in her life? And is he as concerned about her supposed behaviour as you seem to be? Pardon my judgement (based though on what you have said), but it seems to me that the big concern is what shame she might bring to the family name and family interests by her behaviour, and if thats the case than maybe its no wonder she is "acting out", if that is in fact what she's doing.

You asked for some info that might be useful..talk to her parents about whats going on if you havent already done so, and hopefully they are the parents they need to be and they will talk to her about her behaviour and the risks associated..and maybe work too on mending some of the voids that appear to exist in her life.

Look at who her friends are also, they can be having an influence on her ..

implement some chores, take away priviledges and ground her when she is bad ... whatever you do, dont let her goto Waterloo!!
