It so IS our problem! @ Adithya: No, it doesn't. Neither Adnan nor Scarlette were related to me. But somehow I feel responsible for the things that happened to them since I'm a part of the society that watches and turns a blind eye. I'm not denying the parental responsibility; all I'm saying is it's OUR responsibility as well. @ burf: Truly. @ Ashwin: My sentiments exactly. @ bijal: Thank you for that! I'm glad to know that there are people who agree. Some of the responses this post has got (in my cross-post) are in the vein of "Not my problem", "You're just guilt-tripping us" etc. @ Cynic: It’s the “Not my problem” attitude.

Because so far have only heard the media try to catch someone to blame however i agree we need to see things in the larger context "the village" we live in and the role we play in the village . hi ideasmith,

Really liked this piece . Because so far have only heard the media try to catch someone to blame however i agree we need to see things in the larger context “the village” we live in and the role we play in the village .

The parents are responsible for what happened, but not entirely. Since the victims have been under-age, they avoid any blame, and it falls onto their parents. Indirectly, we end up blaming society every time such a thing happens. A society, filled with people who are victims of greed,lust etc. and each time we ask ourselves the same rhetorical question, "What has the world come to?" <em>Ashwin's last blog post..<a href='http://finalapproach-ashwin.blogspot.com/2008/03/write-here-write-now.html' rel="nofollow">Write here, write now</a></em> It is a vicious circle indeed.

If only they had imparted some sense of responsibility in their children. It looks like a vicious circle to me. And, I do feel the parents are responsible for a large part of what happened. <em>Adithya's last blog post..<a href='http://gradwolf.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/overhearing-and-eavesdropping/' rel="nofollow">Overhearing and Eavesdropping</a></em> When you say “WE have failed….”, doesn’t it come back to blaming the parents in the respective cases.
