        Are you crazy/mad or what? So you are blaming the government and not the parents? This is ridiculous. Do you not know the role of government vs that of parents?
        What happened to the youths’ parents? You are eluding their parental responsibility.
        The government has its responsibility to the Nation. Parents have a responsibility to their children until they cease to be a minor.
        When children attain adulthood, they are responsible for themselves.
        God will not ask the government about the children who go astray. He will ask the parents about it.
        Parents are the ones whom God will hold accountable. If you are old enough to have children or have children, take note.
        If you are thinking of yourself, know that the government was never responsible for you. Your parents are, if you are still a minor.

      Every country is experiencing a certain amount of unemployment. The days when jobs were plentiful are long gone, never to re-surface.
      This gives no one reasons to shoot, injure/maim and kill others. It also gives them no reason to idleness and to steal. No excuse whatsoever.
