Is Male' now the same as Gangs of New York?


Now a days you hear all these stories of people getting stabbed, or people getting beaten up by gangs. Gang violence seems to be a common occurrence in male'. Kids with sticks and swords, playing gangster.

Whom do you blame for all this?

Do we continue blaming the government or various other parties?

Who is responsible?

I for one, believe most of the responsibility lie on the hands of their parents. Parents who have lost control over their kids. Who are incapable of keeping their kids from the streets.
Most of these kids are no more than 12 or 14 years old. They are not adults. They are children who have lost their way.

We hear all these stories about parents mistreating their children, beating or manhandling them. We pay attention, and go as far as condemning such behavior. Which every responsible citizen must.

Yet when was the last time we took into notice, the children who have not been cared for? Parents who let their children roam the streets. Parents who never no the whereabouts of their children.

When you bring a child into this world. You take upon yourself the responsibility to take care of that child. You take upon the task of providing that child with education, material support, emotional support, and to teach that child proper ethics and behavior.

Some of the parents amongst us have failed miserably in bringing up their children, thus others are left to carry the burden, the inconvenience and to bear the horrific acts these kids perform in their neighborhood's, to their properties and loved ones.

It is not these kids alone who should be punished, their parents should have to bear the responsibility. Authorities alone cannot solve this issue. Each and every parent should practice their duties, and if need be, should report their children's wrong doing.

No child enters this world a murderer, or as a criminal. They are made such by their upbringing and exposed environments and failure of their parents.
