Reflection of how this boy has been raised back home

The parents also need to be held accountable for negligence and not safekeeping the firearm.Oh...! I forget this is South Africa where firearm laws are just suggestions, not necessarily to abide by.

A criminal at 13 it's shocking.

The gun violence situation in this country has reached a frightening level

Indeed are country it’s a war zone shame

The question is one why are the parents not arrested because its their responsibility to lock the gun in a safe.The parents must be arrested otherwise this will go on forever and schools will be safe when we do not do the right thing.
