Rise in juvenile delinquency
Almost daily we see media reports of youngsters involved in gruesome crimes. They are engaged in gang violence, murder, eve-teasing, rape, the list goes on, indicating that moral values in society are on the decline. Law enforcers alone cannot bring the situation under control. Parents and schools have a major role to play as well, as they should instil ethical values in children from very early on.
Guardians must supervise the company their children keep and ensure that they stay away from drugs—because it is often reported that juveniles involved in crimes also tend to be drug users. If this is to be mended, we must all actively engage in finding the right solutions.
