Shani’s Death Calls for Community Action | Jamaica News

Ten-year-old Shani Coke’s tragic death has ignited a national call to action as Jamaica’s Minister of State in the Ministry of Justice, Marisa Dalrymple-Philibert, delivers a raw, urgent plea for communities to break the silence on child abuse. Speaking at Shani’s funeral, Dalrymple-Philibert, as both a mother and public servant, demands that every Jamaican recognize their role in protecting children — from home to school to public spaces. She insists that victims are never to blame, and that warning signs are often visible long before authorities act. With grief and resolve, she challenges citizens to speak up when they see red flags, emphasizing that law enforcement cannot be everywhere — responsibility must start with us. Shani’s life, cut short too soon, must not fade into another headline, but instead become the spark for lasting change.
