Nurin and James

All these talk about Nurin Jazlin, made me recall about a case 14 years ago in Britain, the James Bulger case.

James Bulger was 3 years old.

His mother got carried away while shopping, and she paid her price with his death.

He was abducted. And tortured to death. In one day.

Perpetrators are two 10 year old kids by the name of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson.

These two kids decided to have fun, and one of them had stated that "I'd like to beat up a kid today".

That was in 1993. And we have child killers in the form of kids? What have human become?

I am worried about what "ordinary" people could do. I myself have wife and kids to take care of. And criminals may come in many form.

Actually we can never tell if somebody has wicked intents. That is beyond our control. But we can at least do something about it.

I'd like to ask parents to look out for your children.

Never neglect them. Accompany them anywhere. Fetch them at school. Watch over them. Fight for their survival.

Secure them in child seats when driving. Yes it costs money, but what's priority?

Discuss with teachers or school officers about any concern.

It's the least we can do.
