    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a timely Motion. The first question we should ask ourselves is, how come, currently, the crime rate is very high among our children in schools who are below 18 years? One of the reasons is because rehabilitation centres or approved schools have collapsed. Children who would be identified as a problem are no longer being taken to approved schools for correction purposes. If we do not rehabilitate those centres, the country is likely to lose its children. When we go around the country as MPs, we realise that the family has completely failed to socialise the child. How have we failed as families? Most of us parents are not there for our children. I am sorry that Hon. Sankok said that single parenting is the problem. That is not true. Parents may be there, but the father may be absent. He is not there for the child. Even the mother may not be there. So, parents may not be existing in such a family. Because of technology, children have assumed that they are more intelligent and superior than their parents and so, they do not listen to them. The school has also failed. It has failed in the sense that some of the teachers, because of the pressure of teaching, have no time for the children unlike our times.
