Crime and Youth

There was a murder by a high school student in Tokyo. He killed his classmate whom he was allegedly in love with.

Initially, the school principal who appeared on TV said that the student was an ordinary boy who didn't exhibit any problem behaviors. Teachers and other adults who had acquainted with the boy also said that he was a good and serious student.

But his peers were now telling a different story. One boy knew that the boy rode a bike alone late night, shouting. One girl knew that the boy rarely spoke at school.

I think adults tend to be ignorant about situations of potential young criminals. Or perhaps they just pretend to be ignorant because they don't care.
