“Parenting does not end with providing wealth, comfort, and opportunity. It extends to instilling discipline, accountability, and respect for the law. When parents hand over the keys to a powerful machine without ensuring maturity, responsibility, and adherence to legal norms, they are not merely being negligent. They are putting lives at risk. In this case, the vehicle reportedly bore a temporary registration, meant strictly for transit purposes. It was not authorised for regular use, let alone late-night driving on public roads.” The tragic death of a young woman in a late-night accident in Goa is not just another case of…

Instead, what stands out is an uncomfortable silence. It is the kind of silence that raises more questions than answers. A speeding luxury car, allegedly driven by a young man from an influential family, crashes into a two-wheeler, killing a 23-year-old woman and critically injuring another. The circumstances are deeply disturbing. Yet, the public response has been muted. There are no widespread protests, no sustained public pressure, and no visible urgency in demanding accountability.…
