“It's better in the Bahamas.” This slogan advertises worldwide to attract tourists. Is it really better in the Bahamas? Many articles on television and in newspapers address the problems of Bahamian society. While many pay no attention to this dilemma, many Bahamians live in constant fear. Miss Bijoux, a single parent, lost her job two months ago. One night he lay in bed thinking about all the possibilities of finding a job. Deep in his thoughts, how will he take care of his children and help his twelve-year-old pregnant daughter? Lost in the world, his phone rings, hello said the caller answers hello, is this residence Bijoux? I'm calling from PMH (Princess Margaret Hospital). Mrs. Bijoux drops the phone and runs to her children's rooms. When she reaches her son's room, he was not there, she kneels on the floor and says a prayer "Lord, please let my son be okay." She immediately calls her family to come get her and take her to the hospital. When she arrived at the hospital she saw her lifeless son, on the ventilator, in lung difficulty, with blood stains on his clothes. Without shedding a tear, he patiently waited for good news. Unfortunately, his son dies three hours later. Mrs. Bijoux is the victim of a shooting in the village of Nassau. As the Bahamas battles the economic crisis, the three main problems in Bahamian society are crime, unemployment and sexual abuse. Crime is the number one major problem in the Bahamas. The crime rate is increasing alarmingly in the Bahamas.
