Lol I know you are emotional, it's just the simple truth,
There was a case of a police man that allowed a woman to die in a burning house, he was released unconditionally

Zombicmodz:


Still not a guarantee..

ebig21:


I logged in just to reply to your comment, what they did is despicable and morally wrong but they can never be charged with murder, they didn't push him into the water, they didn't hold him to drown, they only declined to help him, they can be charged with stealing from a dead man. Simple. The law and morality is different. Although they can not be separated, but they never mix

Thalinzrcng:


Yeah. But have some decorum for the dude , he is gone. Brat here and there. Death picks us all. But heck, maybe you won't mind being referred to as 'big mouth' , fresh on your demise.

Cacawa2:


Actually there isn’t any such law. EVEN if you witnessed MURDER!! You have every right to stay quiet.

Let alone when it was a natural disaster such as drowning.

Not even can you charge a medical doctor for refusing to treat a patient while the patient was in critical condition. Even in spite of their Hippocratic oath, most doctors would insist on payment before treatment.

The only person gullible here is the hotel for not having life savers or divers nearby. But if the hotel can argue that there were safety rules which the boy flouted, then the hotel is covered.

Other than stealing his phone and money, the only other crime committed by the friends was that they did not report to the police what had happened. Which may not even be a crime because the only crime is the concealment of evidence or lying to law enforcement agencies which we are not told that the boys or the hotel did.

LadyHeaven:


This is a very very very flawed reasoning, that its because the mothers MAY have been working class that their sons grew up to be wicked and heartless? From the story the 3 evil boys are not well to do so there is a higher possibility that their parents aren't rich & probably their mothers are stay at homes or petty traders, those boys are collectively terrible beings, NO one made them that way instead they allowed themselves to be influenced by material things of the world that they where fine with their friend drowning rather than watching him succeed more. Have you ever wondered why children of so called pastors are mostly nasty?

Smalliegirl:
This is just sad. As a mother I cried reading this the first time, imagining what his poor parents now have to deal with. The grief, pain, endless tears...smh

On a side note: I couldnt help but notice a flaw in these kids upbringing..and by extention a clear example of the quality of young people we as parents have raised and sre raising...

I shuddered to think how 17/18 year olds would knowingly allow their own classmate drown, ontop of that, steal his phone and money and then walk away like they did nothing...smh!

Who is to blame here? Personally, I put a larger percentage on mothers. So many work and run businesses from early morning 4am (those who leave for work) only to return home so late kids are in bed snoring away...So many mothers, leave their kids as little as 3 months with strangers, chasing all manner of high end jobs with endless meetings and overseas travels, all to the detriment of their kids. Right in their homes, kids getting molested and abused in various ways.

I have always been of the opinion that: if you start raising a family as a woman, start up a business close to home if at all you must work, so you can adequately cater and raise your children, see to their mental & emotional well being.

And in cases you feel your career is more important, please do not birth kids you wouldnt raise as most Nigerian men arent cut out by default to be house husbands or nurturers of kids.

I am also not oblivious to cases where even when mom stays at home kids still go south o, thats a discussion for another time.

Wheew! This wasnt intended to be long. My apologizes if you read till the end.

Rest in peace to Emnanuel Balogun

My life is simple. I don't keep friends; male or female. I respect family. When people do the 'betray word' to me, I don't call it betray. They are not my friends! Only friends betray!
Peer pressure has really killed many young adults. We should be extra careful of the friends we keep: trust no one.

Smalliegirl:


You do not have to agree with my thought process, but for the sake if this discourse, I will try engage you.

.

My reasoning isnt flawed, it just doesnt resonate with you and understandably because its an unpopular opinion.

Let me break this down to you, (1) they may not be as well off as the said Emmanuel parents, but we werent told their own parents social class.

(2) who told you no one made them that way? These are kids for crying out loud, not adults. They werent properly trained, full stop! Imagine not one of those kids could think back or make reference to any warnings and advices their parents may have given then, because they lacked it. They werent taught, they werent told... This is a very painful reality.

3) Just like I said at the end of my original comment that I am not oblivous to moms that stay home with kids that are still wayward, i'll explsin. There's still a difference in actuallly being productive and just merely being busy. You'll agree with me that some women stay home (unemployed) but arent physically or emotionally there! Thats a very busy mom and in my theory classified under the same group as the mothers mentioned aboved.

(4) Some children of Pastors are nasty cos their parents spend all their time at church, meetings, weekly this and that, chasing tithes, etc thereby neglecting their kids. Still classified under the mothers I explained above.

My reasoning isnt flawed, it just doesnt resonate with you and understandably because its an unpopular opinion.

grandstar:


You're right. Sorry about that

TreasureJunky:
That hotel should also be closed down. How can someone die in your pool, you didn't report to police , you didn't hold the friends responsible, you didn't report to the school management of the incident, you didn't do nothing.. That hotel is part of the suspects,, they aided those evil boys... They should be arrested

Lovelyn451:
This is why rich people make friends with fellow rich people cos of the mentality, but he's too young to understand...his friends are obviously from a poor background, he keeps spending on them thinking he's helping his friends not knowing he's only increasing the jealousy in them...

dreamangel:
If it can be proved that they deliberately lured him to the deep end of the pool knowing he was not able to cope, they can be tried for murder.
