I came across it while doing research in light of the recent shootings in Toronto. The problems addressed are not unique to the Punjabi community, or even, for that matter, the immigrant community. A lot of the time here, people blame youth violence & alienation on poverty - if only it were so simple! As for schools, the teachers used to discipline students in Canada - but some parents (usually the worst ones) fought against it to the point that teachers aren't allowed to do anything..

If it changes just one life don't you think it is worth it.I volunteer my time a few hours a week in the school( I have a full life at the momment). If we promoted more people in our community to come into the schools and serve as mentors I think you may learn a lot and I know we would be able to help the youth before the make some of these decisions.Some of these parents don't understand these consequences since this has not been there way of life here. Isn't it our duty to help our community understand the hidden dangers of this society.

What is your recourse? Also, you may want to add another point. So many parents are working so hard for their kids and to give them everything they want and they spoil their boys. They spoil them so much to the point where these boys don't know how to stand on their own two feet and make decisions for themselves. They also become lazy. They don't ever have to work hard or try for anything since their parents gave them everything. They may not have had to work hard to get their material possessions since their parents gave it all to them. What do these boys know about a hard earned dollar? What happens when it's time to get earn an income? Well, why not take the easy way out? Sell drugs. There are nice boys from nice families with great parents who even become drug dealers - these boys don't stay nice for too long. Their free-loading ways have turned them into evil monsters who care only about their own selves, feeding their greed and destroying the lives of others. Parents have got to realize that spoiling their kids and giving them everything the parents once couldn't afford for themselves may be nice but ultimately in the end, both parents and their kids will suffer.
