#JamaicaGleaner SEPTEMBER 8, 2024: After 10 years of emotional and financial strain, single mother Janice Jenkins is still desperately trying to enrol her 14-year-old son, Antwone Stewart, who has been diagnosed with an intellectual disability, into a special education institution. The Somerton, St James resident, who has been unemployed for a decade, spoke with The Sunday Gleaner last week about the struggles of not having Antwone enrolled in school. Despite her efforts to keep Antwone still, he grabbed, kissed, and hugged her as he played during the interview.
