PROVIDE A HAPPY ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR KIDS

A Nigerian child  (4 year old ) got his mouth locked up by his father.

As we are all aware ' man alone is vile' we can't predict his bad behavior. A poisonous cobra has got just one weapon -its bag of the venom  in  its fangs. A terrible tiger -its claws and the teeth.

But how cruel man is, how dangerous he is ... none can predict.

In another  ghastly  terror attack in Nigeria has killed 29 school boys with some burning to death, officials say. Gunmen from the Islamist group Boko Haram stormed a boarding school in the north-east of the country, police and the military confirmed.

Once the schools were greatly feared by kids as the iron rulers ruled the class rooms. After a century of awareness campaigns and framing of laws the torture cells in schools have almost disappeared. But for the occasional corporal punishment meted out by a some managements/  over anxious or poorly read teachers- the menace is out.

But who will save our kids from their parents or other adults who are at their  homes.  At  least 50% of the kids are lucky to have noble parents. They do what they have to do for their kids. But the question is of the remaining 50% kids. It is a big number. It is about 200 millions in India alone.  The problems they undergo is horrible. The homes  have become hostile zones  where marital disputes are very common.  The parents who are supposed to give a healthy, happy and a joyful environment quarrel bitterly for years. Many reach the courts of law. The poor child has to answer to the judge of his preference in  a packed court.  How can a child say he wants to stay with either of them, as he needs them both. There are multifarious reasons for such disputes and both the parents  try to assert their rights and conveniently forget the rights of their own kids. The most common dispute that arises nowadays is due to the drinking habit of the parents- mostly the father. Naturally kids tend to hate the evenings as a red eyed father is ready to hit at an angry mother. 

Parents do impose their choices on their own kids and are with unrealistic expectations. Many of them decide the career of their kids even before their birth. In India the parents send them to coaching centers or boarding schools and are ready to wait till their children clear either IIT/Medicine exams.

I don't want to reveal the methods the parents follow to achieve their ambitions through their kids. But the world over those who beget kids are expected to provide a safe , healthy and happy childhood for kids. Those who are gifted with ego and blessed with pride ... please avoid kids. Even yesterday newspaper revealed that a father killing his own two daughters to avenge his wife. These may be rare but not rarest.  Hope soon the society would come out with some suitable mechanism to provide a joyful environment for all our kids.
