Young criminals

READERS REACT. Many readers reacted to The FREEMAN banner “So Young, So Criminal” last Sunday of two young boys, ages 16, 17 and 18 involved in the killing of an Iranian student and a Bigfoot employee. A housewife said, “Sus, ka mga bata pa, mga kriminal na. Na unsa na man ning kalibotan nato ron uy.”

CHURCH FAILURE. An ex-seminarian commented, “Kulang na sa teachings of morality ang mga bata karon. Wala nay nag guide nila kabahin sa 10 commandments, ilabi na ang ‘Thou shalt not kill’. Para nila, bali wala na lang ang pagpatay og tawo. The church has to be alarmed. This means it has failed to teach the people what is right and what is wrong.”
