THE havoc wreaked by young rioters recently, certainly reflects their upbringings.

I share the views of most individuals who said that parents play a very large role in these increasing violent crimes.

Setting up a curfew and constant monitoring of their associations will at least minimise or prevent such ridiculous behaviour.

Parents should prevent them associating with bad company. Encourage them to be at home early and motivate them to do their studies and be responsible.

An ultimate legacy that you can relinquish to your siblings is the respect of oneself towards the human race.
