Re: Boy, 11, is shot dead in car park
I think it is all down to discipline...start young, set boundaries, be firm.
No-one knows their children like the parents. Good role models help too. Teach respect from a very early age, respect for property, their own and other peoples, respect for other people, respect for other ideas. Expalin that respect grows out of respect.
My heart goes out to the parents of this poor boy, but also the parents of the children(for that is what they are) who are indicted for this crime.
It seems like gun crime and gang warfare are the 'road accidents' that killed children in the fifties and sixties. ( what I mean by that, is that children in the fifties and sixties were casualties of road accidents...today children are more likely to be killed in a drive-by shooting or gang warfare).
