Seriously????? A CRIME???? Have we gone completely crazy??? Instead of creating venues for children to be engaged after school we punish them for being on The Street??? Spend The money you would spend in prosecuting in creating FREE after school programs
It should be a crime to speak ignorance in public. You can do at home but not in public.
CHILDREN- STUDENTS- LOITERERS- CHILDREN
In a civilized world, humans should never display instincts
associated with orangutans.
If only for these reasons, ‘…criminalization’ sounds like
‘…Madness’ [Sir Gerald A. Watt KCN QC];
(i) …Parents/guardians send children to school;
(ii) …Principals admit them as students;
(iii) …Given students’ lessons;
(iv) …Principals dismissed them as students;
Is it to be understood that once off the schools’ premises,
the students automatically become ‘…Street Loiterers’ until they
return home to be called children?’
It begs this question ‘…Do Principals know students’ whereabouts
when they are dismissed?
Conversely, it begs a similar question, ‘…Do parents/guardians know
the whereabouts of their children when they left school?
Do Principals call to homes to say ‘…School is over, come and collect the
students/children?
By any stretch of the imagination, this would be a very tall order.
Then who should be criminalized?
It would make better sense than ‘…monkey nonsense’ to urge students
to get home as quickly as possible.
