Shoot out
by ram kumar on Dec 11, 2007 06:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is very sad that such incidents are happening in schools (of all the places). And mind you it will continue to happen. Will it be a good idea to punish the parents for such juvenile crime committed by their children? And this need to be told to the children. At least then the children might think twice before taking up to weapons and crime. Because if the children are arrested and remanded to judicial homes, they only return as a criminal (barring a few who might transform).

the problem is not of the child but of the parents.

today, children has no grandparents to tell morals and about GOD.

children has no mothers who stay at home at take care of.

the only thing children have is a big idiot box called Television.

and the channels are on competition.

so almost all channels air objectionable material. and also programs run 24x7.

and most important is that TVs run special shows on CRIME.

the media reasons it out that it is its duty to inform the public,

but public learns all that in a magnified manner.

Hi Ramesh. Crime knows no North, East, West or South. It is the same everywhere. A crime is a crime irrespective of the gender. We make the society. We individuals live life the right way, the society then becomes right. If the society stinks it is because of us. Why don't we first start inculcate good things in our children just the way our parents did? Like the saying goes Charity begins at home. Let us (every one of us)first correct ourselves and then the whole society will change for better

Hi Siva. Agree with you that the TV and the programs aired are actually one of the major reasons for the trend. The programs on crime glorify the criminal rather than laying emphasis on the punishment and the after effects of the punishment.
