We often speak about crime prevention with children, encouraging them to “count to three,” to “walk away,” to “breathe before reacting.” These are valuable lessons that aim to instil emotional intelligence and self-control. But what are we doing to ensure those lessons stick into adulthood? Who is teaching mature adults to manage conflict, to seek help, to de-escalate, to feel their pain without transferring it violently onto someone else?

Attorney General Wilkin Urges Timely Citizenship Applications For Children Born Aboard Through Descent

“Only persons who could have gotten citizenship through their grandparents were persons born before Independence [on September 19, 1983], and they got it at Independence,” he stated. “However, a child under 18 years can get citizenship through their parents if [a] parent is a citizen. Therefore, a grandparent born in Saint Kitts and Nevis before Independence, can pass citizenship to his or her child born outside [of the Federation] after Independence. And that child, who is now the parent of the grandchild, can then apply for the child born outside of St. Kitts and Nevis to be a citizen. However, that parent cannot apply for an adult (someone over 18  years) to be a citizen, and that is the point.”
