“youth is sacred”, if it is, t is because of the wealth it constitutes for
the nation and for the future. This wealth is defined in physical and
intellectual strenght. The child is educated from an early age. This is
how it is up to the parents to deploy the maximum effort so that
their offspring does not fall victim to juvenile delinquency. Parents
should therefore not give up in the fce of this social scourge, but
rather assume their responsabilities, giving children the possibilities
to grow up and to replace us in a meaningful way.
