Poor parenting

While on the subject of irresponsible parents, I find there is a steady decline in our culture and values. Good parenting is the need of the hour. Much of our children’s bad behaviour is due to irresponsible parenting. Parents take pride in their minor sons and daughters driving at high speeds. It is a major cause of serious road accidents that result in the death of pedestrians. Influential parents shield their children from the justice system, which results in their becoming more reckless. It is, therefore, necessary to punish the parents who fail in their duty to mould better citizens of tomorrow.
