“I never give up on my children. I always fight fuh them and even if I have to catch crab to help mind dem I do it,” the words of 47-year-old Cheryl Benn, a mother of 14.
Benn is the mother of 17-year-old Susana Culpepper, who was severely burnt allegedly by an ex-boyfriend last week. The man is now in custody.
I approached Benn at the Georgetown Public Hospital where she spends her entire days since her daughter was transferred to that institution as she fights for her life. Benn goes to the hospital early in the morning and leaves at the end of the last visit, between visits she sits on the visitor bench in the compound.
