Sub: Increasing Crimes In Children.
Sir:
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern
over the increasing crime among children. The incidents
of thefts, kidnapping, jewellery and purse snatching, mobile snatching,
eve-teasing are on the increase. There is an atmosphere of insecurity and fear
in the entire locality. No resident dares to go out after the dark. The most worrying
factor is most of these crimes are being done by the teenagers. These crimes
are the fallout of their unregulated and unmonitored overexposure to the
internet.
It really pains to see young children being caught by
police. Quite ironically, they belong to families with respectable background.
Being elders it is our moral responsibility to prevent the youngsters from
going astray. This is nothing but the effect of their exposure to violence on TV and internet. The schools, the parents, and the government must come together
to solve this problem. I have decided to bring the attention of the concerned
authorities to the problem through the medium of your esteemed newspaper. I am
hopeful that you will help me in sensitizing the concerned authorities, people
and organizations by publishing this letter in your reputed daily.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Radhika
