Keisha Bowen clutched her son Adrian Dwyer yesterday as she and other residents reflected on the massive fire that left 25 people homeless on Tower Street in Kingston a day earlier.

&quot;I was sleeping and is AJ (her pet name for him) wake me up. Him say, 'Mommy, Mommy, we a go dead?'&quot; she recalled. He not only roused her, but he also carried out his younger sibling as flames engulfed the house.

I think it stems from the old school ' a child should be seen and not heard' way of thinking...

which is why I mentioned that she should think twice the next time the urge to slap him crosses her mind, cause that was/is what many jamaican parents do - either tell you to shut up if you dare to voice an opinion, or slap/beat you if you persist. And I've lived that too...
