It was time that someone talked about this.
I have lived here for the past 2 years, and this in one of the things that shocks me more.
I Could never understand why they allow their children to behave like that.
I always joke that they "Let them grow free", but actually they will grow only if they are very lucky.
Also I have to disagree, we are not talking only about asian children, also arabic ones; western ones not because most of them are hidden inside compounds.
