It was really disturbing to hear and see the news today on TV channels. It flashed that a 13 year old boy was shot and succumbed to his injuries in hospital. What did the boy do? he trespassed into an army area in quest to pluck fruits.
Now the army says they did not fire and the investigations are going on and blame game will begin. Leave aside who shot at the boy, my humble request to the parents in tamil nadu, particularly for labour class is to teach your children to be safe.
The terrible scene I see daily in barnaby road, kilpauk is that many small children play around the road side and crosses the roads without any care. I also see that the parents sit by the side of the road but they hardly seem to tell teach their children to cross the road. What will happen if some bike or car hits the children? You parents will get the compensation, but will you guys get your children back? If you can't take proper care of your children, then better don't give birth to children.
Had if the 13 year old boy's parents have told him never to trespass the army compound he would have not crossed and probably they would have had their child with them.
Please parents teach your children about being safe and help them to be better citizens in future.
