He went on to note that youths are prepared to do anything to get the good things of life without working for them.
Part of the statement read:
"They have little regard for the sacredness of human life. Dr*g is the apple of their eyes. Clubing is their major preoccupation."
“MURIC calls on parents to turn to God on behalf of their children and wards. We charge them to spend a substantial time of this yuletide and thereafter with their young ones. They must monitor, guide and admonish them at all times."
