Red handed in New York

Early Thursday morning at 3:20, officers from the New York Police Department arrested 17-year-old Mike Kushnir and an unnamed 15-year-old female friend after they received a 911 call. The two teenagers have been accused of vandalizing the 114-year-old Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Monument on Riverside Drive and West 89th Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The state landmark has been in existence since Memorial Day 1902. Kushnir and his friend allegedly defaced it with obscene language and lewd drawings, using red paint.
 
Putting them in jail may not help them understand the gravity of their crime. Make them clean whatever mess they have produced and let them stand by the monument, telling the visitors about their crime and apologizing for what they have done. Making them bring-in other such so-called Graffiti artists and involving them in community service might also make them realize the seriousness of this issue. Youngsters are not concerned about the society anymore; all they care about is technology in their hands and money in their pockets. We have to teach them how to live in a civilized society.
