An advocate for boys expresses deep concern over a recent incident involving nine teenage boys accused of gang-raping a woman in Okahandja. The author argues that such heartbreaking acts indicate that boys are 'crying out for help,' not as an excuse for their actions, but as a call to examine societal influences. A lack of guidance, love, discipline, and positive role models can lead boys astray, making them a danger to themselves and others. The piece stresses the urgency of actively raising boys with strong values, accountability, self-control, respect, and compassion. It calls for the involvement of fathers, mothers, churches, governments, schools, and communities in shaping young men. Neglecting boys today will lead to future consequences, but investing in their guidance and mentorship can foster a generation of respectful and honorable men.
This piece serves as an urgent call to action for societal intervention in the upbringing of boys, emphasizing the need for guidance and positive influences to prevent future harm.
