Wake up parents
THE EDITOR: Within recent times many young men have fallen at the hands of gunmen while still in the prime of their lives. And in nearly every case mothers wail with a foolish story that their sons’ were such an innocent lovely darling, and never kept company with notorious boys, and so on. So the question is: Are these parents and guardians wide awake in a dream? Or do they not know about their sons modus operandi? Only a couple weeks ago I met a boy 12 years old with a cutlass strapped to his waist, while he was standing on the side of the roadway in East Dry River, Port-of-Spain. The expression on his face was a typical example of a child that was unloved. It’s high time parents wake up and smell the coffee. Do parents ever question when their unemployed sons return home waving sneakers with the value of $1,200. Or drop a couple hundreds into their open hands? Do those parents honestly believe that their beloved sons won the money in Play Whe, which is normally the expeditious excuse. A R JORDAN Sangre Grande
