I have an aunt. She has only one child. My cousin was doing 11th standard at that time. As my uncle leaves early in the morning and comes back late at night, his world used to be his mother, my aunt. Then my aunt and uncle thought they needed to earn a lot lot more for his bright(??) future. My aunt left for a couple-of-grands-more paying job in some nobody-knows town in neighbor state. As she started earning more and more money for her child, she started losing her love for him. He earned bad company.
One day he came home at 12 am. He enacted a story. That was one of the best acting i have seen so far. Realizing nobody bought his story he gave up and accepted that he had cut his tuition class and went outside with his friends. The little time his Mum was with him, she spent that mostly in fighting with Uncle that its all his mistake and he has missed to take good care of the boy. Whoa! What a thought!!
I thought it was all over. Then came the big drama. Aunt came home one day in tears that the boy is missing for two days!! WTF??? I asked why they have not told us that earlier. Not even the police was informed. They said they thought he is gonna come back the next day! Cool, fucking cool! What a faith in their son!! Then some police in some village outside city found him wandering in the streets. Got where he is from and called my uncle. When he was back here, his face showed no signs of anything at all has happened. He was f'king cool. Now he is doing his 12th standard and i have no clue when he's gonna start his next tour. I and for that matter many have tried the best to educate them about the real problem at hand, but all in vain.
Its just about one boy i know. There are thousands and thousands out there, roaming homeless in the streets with a home. What did their parents earn for them? Money? Will that help him become a nice person? Like Gandhi said, "If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. If character is lost everything is lost". When are they gonna understand this truth?
Guess i got the best song for this scenario we are discussing: Walking Disaster
