Brawls and violence

SERIOUS questions need to be asked about why we are experiencing such brawls and violence?

Who are these boys? What ethnic group do they belong to? What religion do they belong to or are they atheists? Are they living with their parents or guardians or are they homeless? Why are they out of control? Why are they left to commit such lawless, despicable crimes? Why can’t seniors or adults of their particular ethnic group or their religious leaders do anything about it?

Obviously there is a lack of proper upbringing and care from the parents and guardians of these boys. What has caused their guardians to lose control of them? Who is to blame for such out of control boys?

We have failed as parents and guardians, as a society, as an ethnic group, and as leaders, in raising our children if this is how our children are turning out. We basically don’t care and are too busy being overwhelmed by our own self indulgence and needs.

Arresting these boys will not solve the problem as it stems from a deeper, long term issue that’ll take a generation or two to fix if we started now. A lot needs to change from parents and guardians, elders, and leaders. Drastic, committed, and urgent consistent measures are required from now onwards in order for good moral changes to happen over the next decade or two.

Houston we’ve had this huge problem and continue to have it and it’s getting worse!

SOS!
