The police can't be everywhere... they aren't bloody omnipresent
beings. The root cause of the problem isn't the Police's
ability to maintain law n order, but a failure of family and
society to bring up kids with the right values.
Yup very true.. Families and parents played a very important
role in causing kids nowadays to become what they are today. The
parents' lack of action to correct their kid's behaviour, to
correct the wrong things they learn from their peers or what they
learn from the Internet.
But we can't deny that parents of today have a tougher job of
raising up kids to be morally correct, as compared to parents of
the 80s - early 90s.
With a universally connected media that isn't monitored for any
morally-wrong things (i.e. the Internet), the kids can quickly pick
up things that they themselves may not even know is wrong.
Information, good or bad, all flows quickly, too
quickly for the kids' own good. And often, parents who have to
juggle between the multiple things (running the household, being
the breadwinner for the family, paving their career path, etc etc)
may find themselves not having the time to monitor their children,
giving kids time alone with the Internet and friends to pick
up the wrong things.
The society preaches that we should use "爱的教育" or using tender
care and love to nurture and educate our kids. But the truth is,
spare the rod and spoil the kid. Kids nowadays need a good whopping
if necessary, even if it means leaving their children
with full of cane marks on their hands. If pain is necessary
to inculcate into their children that wrong is wrong, so be it. We
can , but not always use tender-loving-care to
educate our children.
When I have a children next time, i'll buy a big rotan and case
it in a transparent casing, display it in the living room to remind
my child that the rotan will be used on him/her if necessary.
