Subject: RE: BS: School Shooting In Montreal
Many of my neighbors are from India and we get along fine but I do know that they don't know half the stuff their kids are into. This is not because they are not loving parents but because there is a cultural and linguistic divide that makes it easier for deviant activity by their children to go undetected.

Most parents don't know half of what their kids are into whatever their background. You, of course, must be one of the rare exceptions.

There is also an inference in your statement that while the Indian parents in your neighborhood don't know half of what their kids are into, you do. Otherwise, how would you know that the parents are unaware? Therefore, may we assume that you, as a concerned citizen, are alerting these parents to their children's anti-social behaviour?
