Gun use, drug abuse, tendency to commit crimes, who will take the lead in protecting our kids?

While the academe spends more time dwelling on environmental issues like pollution, loss of biodiversity and climate change, the mothers are still worried how to protect their children from the temptations of gun use, drug abuse and tendency to go astray.

Headlines like "Seven boys charged over girl's gang rape", "Child Abuse Charges against two Americans" "Tribal leader slain over land dispute" "Executive accused of molesting minors" all published in Gold Star Daily greet us on an almost day to day or weekly basis and we heave a sigh, will there be more?

Parents and teachers never tire reminding their children and pupils/students respectively to be on guard. If possible, they should not stay beyond 9:00 in the evening. So, the more they stay at home, the safer for them. Young people should develop hobbies that will redirect their bountiful energies for the good of mankind.

Mothers, fathers, teachers, community leaders, spiritual advisers, any concerned person - let us join hands to protect our children.

Empowering youth will definitely help the cause; drug or substance abuse can be dealt by organized youth empowerment programs.
