The Editor, Sir:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that dancehall does impact children negatively. I remember when songs with suggestive lyrics would be banned from airplay; now they are played every day with no comments about them afterwards.

These things must stop. The authorities must ban these persons' songs from playing on air. Parents should tell their children that they shouldn't listen to those songs. They should set examples for their children. Parenting classes must be set up for parents in these ghettos to teach them how to be a parent. Only divine intervention can stop this madness.

I am, etc.,

JACQUI
