Cost of Modernisation?

Woke up today and saw something on the papers that caught my attention.

"乖乖仔"非礼7女生
坐牢32年;打24鞭

For those of you who cant read chinese - "Obedient boy" molested 7 girls & sentenced to 32 years behind bars and 24 strokes.

He was given these harsh sentence because all of his targets were from age of 9 to 14!!! The crime he committed on some of his victims were indecent and I do not wish to post them online.
I was even more stunned when i read the article more in-depth. He (22 yrs of age) was a OCS-caliber type of guy during army and during his schooling days, he was like those better performing ones. So why would such a guy with a good future do such things?

From the article, he first got into a relationship with a sales girl when he was 17. Due to that, he started returning home late everyday and his school work started to drop. As a result, his parents started to ignore him and he was always alone at home. To make matters worse, his gf was double-timing at the same time and broke off with him soon after that. So was that the cause of everything?

After reading the article, i really started to think... In this time and age where high tech stuffs are everywhere, are we forgetting the things that seperated us from animals? Why would such incident happen when all of us are receiving better education and a higher standard of living?
Who should we point the blame too?

- The education system in schools which basically only requires students to be academically-inclined?

- The parents who are too concerned with providing the best for their children and forgetting that they are also suppose to impart moral values to their kids?

- The society in which compassion and sympathy is rare displayed?

There is no right-wrong answer here. Everyone of you who are reading this article will also have your thoughts and feelings.

I would like to take this chance to thank my parents for making me the man that I am today. I may not be the perfect guy, but at least I have sympathy and compassion which were imparted to me by my parents.

I LOVE YOU 老爸老妈!!! 谢谢你们的教诲=D
