Parents should impart the right values to children

Spend quality time with them and keep track of what they do during spare hours, say readers

Spend time with them

Young persons need parental supervision. Under-age drinking and use of narcotics point to the fact they are not getting quality time with their parents.

Teach them right values

When youngsters get into trouble, parents need to share the blame too. No boy or girl from a home where the right values are taught and practised will go astray.

Moral education needed

Parents and teachers need to call for the revival of moral education classes in high schools and colleges.

Punish law-breakers

Youthful exuberance is one thing and breaking law is another. The police should take action against even children of the influential.

The media should not campaign for granting licence to night clubs to operate until late hours.
