An alarming concern

India is a land of god's and children are considered to be gift from god who are expected to be obedient, respectful, have virtues and good quality in them. On contrary the flip side of this reality in India is different, crimes committed by minors has increased manifold in country, we can say 'Crimes by juvenile is a harsh reality in India nowadays'. In recent times juvenile were found to be involved in most heinous of the crimes such as murder and gang rape. The new age children are fascinated towards latest technologies, gadgets,  new social media world, bombarded with information from various sources and with virtual world reality, all this has pave an overall increased rate of juvenile arrests and prosecutions in recent years. Recent study claiming societal pressures like drugs or poverty or aggressive enforcement and zero tolerance polices that lead to build footsteps for minors. Children are also quick to pick up on friction between adults, parents are often insensitive to the moral pitfalls of over-indulgence such an insensitive over indulgence stated by Dr.  Mittal in the case of a child, who had come to him for counselling five years ago. “Dheeraj, 12, had fired at one of his friends while they were both playing at the former’s house”. “Thankfully, nothing happened to the other child, but when his parents complained to Dheeraj’s parents, Dheeraj’s parents tried to shield him. When the school sent Dheeraj to me for counselling, I found that Dheeraj’s father had been teaching him how to shoot.”  Reports of many juvenile offenders confessions reported that they indulged in violence because they wanted to see what it felt like. The juvenile system in its greater emphasis on rehabillitation and prevention rather than punishment enforces minors to try criminal activities without knowing its consequences and effect. Recent school cases in various cities one after the other has shaken the government, parents,  guardians, school management. The reason behind such crimes set an alarming sound in the system, where minors turned the spotlight on the issue of juvenile crimes as horryfing future of the youth.
