Delinquent children are capable of unbelievable crimes. I was once a counsellor at Eaton County Juvenile Correctional Facilities. When I read their files, I was shocked. Even as their counsellor, and during one-on-one sessions, I was always looking over my shoulders. I worked with these delinquent kids for a couple of months, and one thing was unambiguously clear: Their parents failed them.
This approach does not affect your relationship with your children; they won’t fear you, as some parents worry. A parent-child relationship is akin to that of a principal-agent relationship. Authority resides in the parent/principal. In the scheme of things, the principal/parent is the overarching authority. While under your roof, you are grooming them for the real world. This rule-based system helps the child to understand risk appetite and risk tolerance.
Whether at Dowen College, where some students egregiously assaulted a child who is now deceased, or at Oxford High School, where a student killed three students, we can certainly say that the parents of these delinquent kids failed them . Considering the facts at hand, we are looking at both civil and criminal remedies. Under our penal code, a criminal remedy will hold accountable those who were responsible for the murder of Sylvester Oromoni.
Beyond punitive and compensatory damages, institutions determine the failure or success of a nation. Who monitors those who monitor those so called schools in rotten Lagos? How did Governor of Lagos get his job?

Despite Lagos Government’s Closure Order Over Pupil’s Death, Dowen College Continues Classes Online | Sahara ReportersThis is despite the Lagos State Government’s order of indefinite closure of the school following the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr), a pupil allegedly beaten by colleagues for refusing to join a cult. Online classes? Or more like preparing them for what to say when they’re asked about their school? 🙄 The school is useless and callous. They will learn the power of social media in a hard way. Most of the private schools in Nigeria are owned by the politicians who stole our monies. They continue to exploit through the schools. When issues like this happens, it is difficult to have justice. This schools should be shut down for life. Parents of those guys must be jailed
