When you read newspapers and see armed robbers caught by the
Police, do you ever wonder if some of them started stealing from childhood or
was it just borne out of extreme lack? I witnessed something mind boggling this
evening and even took some pictures. Two primary school boys between the ages
of 9-11 broke into their headmaster’s office in search of anything to sell for
money if the confession of one of them is anything to go by.

I watched from a balcony in horror as one of the boys used a
stone to break the padlock and instructed the other boy to ‘watch out’ for him
while he went inside. He was there for a
few minutes when I and a relative of mine alerted one the school security men
who had seen the ‘look out’ boy and was asking what he was doing there. The man
went in and dragged the boy in the office out. This is one of the craziest
things I have witnessed in my life. Small boys!!
