I think it all boils down to values and priorities. If parents could instil the right values on their kids and make them understand why certain actions isn't right at a certain point in time, they will understand better and be able to set their priorities straight. The problem is not about whether the child is caged or not but what the child is taught. I've seen a lot of young girls that their parents gave the freewill to mix with whoever they wish bring unwanted pregnancies home. Infact the number is very high. I think teaching the kids the right thing will help in reducing such. Just my thought though.
