Children don't listen to us; parents complain to police

Be tough with my son as he doesn't listen to me.
This was the plea made by a mother to a policeman, who went to her house in Mehrauli to challan her for allowing her 15-year-old son to drive her car which has tinted glass and a fancy numberplate, both illegal.
Similar was the complaint by an ex-army officer when confronted by traffic policemen for allowing his son to drive the car without a licence.
These incidents were narrated by Satyendra Garg, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), as he said police will do what can be done but the trend shows the crumbling of institutions which does not augur well for the society.
"A concerned citizen informed me that a 15-year-old child in posh Mehrauli drives his mother's car, which has tinted glasses and fancy number plate, very rashly.
"As it was dangerous for both the child and the safety of others, I sent traffic officials to their residence and found that car had the mentioned defects," Garg said.
