Make sure no child is left out


WHENEVER children commit a heinous crime, there is much debate on whether the parents should also be punished.

More often than not, these “rude and crude” children are from underprivileged homes with an absent father or a single parent. Put simply, they receive little attention or guidance at home. It’s not because their guardians do not care but their time is probably spent toiling for a meagre salary as night watchmen, taxi drivers, and etc.
