News Review Recently, residents in Haishangmingcheng Community in Baoshan District, Shanghai reported that nearly 20 cars were scratched in the parking garage of the community. After a day and night of investigation, it was finally confirmed that the three minors were paddling the car, and surveillance footage captured part of them paddling the car with stones. According to statistics, a total of 16 vehicles were \”poisoned\”. Some had their logos scratched, some had five-pointed stars painted on their bodies, some had \”This car belongs to me\” written on them, and some even had their car engraved on them. \”SB\” and other curse words. Ms. Yu, a Cadillac owner, said: \”The headlights, hood, etc. have all been scratched, and the scratches are very deep.\” There are many mid- to high-end cars among these 16 cars, including R-class Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Infiniti, etc., all The vehicle\’s paint repair is estimated to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the parents of the naughty children are expected to foot the bill. According to the three families sharing the same amount, if the hundreds of thousands are calculated, the number that one family needs to accompany may exceed 100,000. After the incident, the police searched from house to house. As of about 13:30 the next day, two boys aged 12 or 13 had been found. According to the two men\’s confessions, they went to the underground garage to \”explore\” together. There are many similar incidents. This incident of a naughty child paddling in Shanghai is by no means an isolated case. I searched online for \”naughty child paddling\” and easily found a lot of news. It was really beyond my expectation. In July 2016, 11 luxury cars were scratched in Quanxing Community in Jinan. Some cars were engraved with obscene words such as \”son of a bitch\”, and some were scratched with a painting. Surveillance showed that this was actually done by two children in their 10s. (Jinan TV) In May 2016, after eating in a restaurant, an 8-year-old boy from Texas picked up a small iron piece on the ground out of boredom and scratched the 12 cars parked in front of the hotel. In November 2015, 54 vehicles were scratched by four naughty children in Longgang, Shenzhen. Among the 4 children, the eldest is 7 years old and the youngest is 4 years old. If you want to say that a naughty kid is cheating on your father, there is definitely not the only way to do it by paddling. In May this year, before the Dragon Boat Festival, in the watermelon shed of Mr. Zeng, a melon farmer in Luxi, Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, more than 9,000 kilograms of watermelons were trampled to pieces by four naughty children. In Mr. Zeng’s words: “Even the pigs can’t eat it.” Based on the wholesale price of 2.5 yuan per catty, Mr. Zeng\’s loss was more than 20,000 yuan. Among the four students, one is a third-year primary school student and the other three are fourth-year students, all of whom are left-behind children. Their parents work hard outside and may even be reluctant to eat a few watermelons, but the naughty children are professionally stomping on melons at home, which is sad! Why do naughty children row cars and step on melons? Why are naughty kids so keen on paddling people’s cars? I think the reasons are roughly as follows: 1. Pursuing excitement. In the incident of 4 children scratching 54 cars in Longgang, Shenzhen, when asked why they were paddling, a child told reporters that someone suggested paddling at that time. Competition, \”see who can row faster.\” A naughty kid doesn\’t need any reason at all to do something. This also reflects the lack of education provided by parents to their children, so that they are unaware of the serious consequences that paddling may bring. 2. Vent (relieve stress) Some people say that going to the supermarket and kneading instant noodles can relieve stress.Cars can also achieve the same purpose, which is to release stress and vent negative emotions through acts of destruction. Of course, adults will choose to go to the supermarket to buy biscuits and instant noodles instead of driving because they know that the cost of driving is too high. 3. Revenge against society (hate the rich) It is not excluded that some children, especially older children, have a sense of revenge when paddling. They may have a hatred for rich people (such as owners of luxury cars), so when paddling, they will choose expensive cars to start with. In this car-riding incident in Baoshan, Shanghai, the three children were all in their rebellious stage at the age of 12 or 13. They already knew the car logos and knew which cars were luxury cars, so they had the choice to do it. 4. The premise for naughty children to \”cheat their parents\” is that they think that no one will know about it. They did not dare to paddle in front of others, but chose to do it secretly in underground garages and other places where no one was around, which shows that they knew that paddling was wrong. They underestimated two things: first, they underestimated the possibility of finding the perpetrator after the Dongchuang incident; second, they underestimated the seriousness of the consequences of the incident. Just imagine, if the naughty children knew that there was surveillance and understood that whoever did the bad things would eventually be found out, would they still dare to paddle? If they knew that their parents might have to pay hundreds of thousands in compensation after paddling, would they still dare to paddle? 4. How to prevent children from cheating on their parents? The naughty children who row cars and step on melons are all children who are capable of cheating their parents. No parent wants their children to do this. Afterwards, if you can take this opportunity to educate your children well and let them learn from it, it is not too late. But what we need to do is to nip problems in the bud and educate our children well in advance to prevent them from embarking on the path of paddling or stepping on melons. When children are young, we need to teach them to care for the flowers and plants in the community, to care for public facilities, and not to damage greenery or public property. When a child enters kindergarten, we need to teach him the concept of \”property rights\” so that the child understands which items belong to him and which items belong to others. Don\’t touch other people\’s things without permission. In addition to being reasonable, it is more important for parents to set an example and practice it. For example, when going to \”unsupervised\” free places such as supermarkets, restrain your behavior and don\’t take advantage of yourself. If you accidentally damage a supermarket item, pay to buy it. We can imagine that parents who take the initiative to take responsibility for compensation after damaging public property, parents who never infringe on other people\’s property, parents who know how to respect other people\’s property rights, and children who have been educated under the influence of their own eyes and ears are unlikely to scratch other people\’s cars. On the contrary, if parents are not in a good mood, they go to the supermarket to make biscuits and instant noodles. When they are bored, they kick the fence in an unoccupied corner. When shopping, they seize every opportunity to take advantage of it. Under the influence of such words and deeds, children will develop into Isn’t it normal to paddle other people’s cars when you’re not happy, or to step on other people’s watermelons when you’re not happy? We should also help our children establish a correct view of wealth. If parents do not \”hate the rich\”, their children will naturally not \”hate the rich\” either. Although there are indeed people who are \”unkind for the sake of wealth\” in reality, there are also rich people who have not followed an honest path to get rich. But we should tell our children that the reason why rich people become richPeople, because they put in more effort, encountered good opportunities, and seized them. We can also summarize what good qualities rich people usually have to encourage children to work hard. In addition to educating children to be morally self-disciplined, our society also has laws that constrain our behavior from the outside. When the child has more understanding, tell him what things in life are against the law and must be punished. For children in the rebellious period of youth, if internal moral restraint education is too late, then external legal education can only be strengthened. It is said on the Internet that the United States has a \”Prison Experience Program\” specifically for naughty children, which is to put those unruly delinquents in prison and let them experience what real prison life is like, so that the children understand: Prison is not a place. Great place, if you don\’t want to come in, you have to be a good person. The Prison Experience Program has received mixed reviews. I think even if I don’t recommend actually sending children to prison to experience it, I can at least describe the possible punishments for those particularly bad kids who do bad things. There are some situations where children may be taking chances and we should emphasize this. I remember when I was a child in the countryside, many places had slogans like \”Children burn mountains, adults go to jail!\” Although from a legal point of view, even if you burn a mountain, you do not have to go to jail, this slogan clearly conveys a concept to people: if minors break the law, their guardians will bear the responsibility. Just saying \”The child is young and ignorant\” does not mean that nothing will happen. We also need to tell our children that there may be cameras installed in many corners of the city. If you do something bad in a corner where you think no one can see it, you will most likely be found out. In real life, there are very few people who can get away with doing bad things. We ordinary people should not have this extravagant hope. Children, every centimeter you scratch on other people\’s cars is scratched on your parents\’ wallets; every drop of juice that splashes out when you trample on the watermelon is the blood and sweat of your parents\’ hard work. Parents, no matter how busy you are, please don’t forget to educate your children, because an ineffective child may make all your busyness go to waste in an instant.
