Norway arrest

Indians look at parenting as a responsible, authoritative affair. We save money for our children, educate them, give dowry for our girls and keep properties for our boys. We do not send them away to tend for themselves.

We agree that our hierarchical attitudes have created the caste system which makes us appear like cruel beings.  We are taking positive steps to change our attitudes regarding this weak area. But at the same time, the same hierarchical attitudes have created a strict family system where the father is the boss. The children are expected to obey the parents.

If parents are going to be arrested for mistakes, it is  a very scary affair for parenting. Then, there are so many repercussions for this 'new' perception of equality. For example, people might just as well lose interest in starting families and toil for bringing up children. in today's global scenario parenting has become a very costly affair. If people can live without the social need to 'parenting'  they probably will opt out. They will start using their money for their own pleasure.

Indian parents invest enormous amount of money in the higher education of their children. All this might stop if people get scared of parenting. Instead of imprisonment, the parents can be counselled. Capitalism, democracy and globalization have put a lot of pressure on parenting jobs and parents need a lot of counselling and support from society. Imprisonment is very discouraging.

Now, how will the concerned parents will 'feel' towards the concerned children?

Parenting has to be approached with more sensitivity.
