Hmmm
What is this world turning into
Some parents are to be blame.
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is grown, he will not depart from it”
But some parents will not hear
And once you spare a rod, you have already spoiled the child.

This is pathetic, the students need to be rehabilitated even if they are rusticated. Parents also should double their efforts at monitoring who their children move or hang out with.
May God help this generation.
