Teenagers often struggle with emotional regulation. Some reach the peak of anger, which makes it easier to spiral into violence for small disputes.

The shocking murder of a child in Kukukpalli neighborhood of Hyderabad has raised questions about the growing youth violence in India. Even more disturbing is the fact that the accused is not a rigid criminal, but a class 10 boy – anyone is still legally a minor – who was allegedly killed on a cricket bat.
This incident has created public concern about why children are turning to violent crimes and whether deep social, psychological and technical factors are shaping this disturbing trend.
What does the youth drive for violence?
Experts say that the increasing number of violent crimes associated with minors is associated with a mixture of emotional, social and environmental factors. Among the most common trigger:
Uncontrolled anger and impulse: Teenagers often struggle with emotional regulation. Some reach the peak of anger, making it easier to spiral into violence for small controversies.
Anti -social personality symptoms: For some children, early behavioral issues – often inherent in genetics or family history – can make them indifferent to harm others.
Toxic family environment: Homes marked by domestic violence, alcohol, or continuous conflict can normalize aggression for children, shaping their attitude of the world as hostile and violent.
Effect of media and technology: Violent films, crime-based web chains, and glory of criminal behavior are fast accessible on smartphones. Some people also offer “How-to” guides to commit crime and develop laws, which create dangerous role models for influential teenagers.
Poverty and Financial Stress: Financial difficulty can add layers of frustration and despair, which can make youth more unsafe for anger and crime.
Rigid care: Nutrition: Children who grow up with physical punishment but may be rebel or aggressive over time with little emotional support.
What roles should parents and schools play
Youth violence begins to stop before a crime. Experts emphasize the importance of active parents’ participation and early moral guidance:
Open communication: Children need to be told what is right and wrong while explaining the consequences of harmful tasks with parents.
Close monitoring: Knowing what children see, they can help those who keep friends, and their behavior patterns can help parents interfere quickly if warning signs appear.
Teaching sympathy: If children show cruelty to peers or animals, they should be cured immediately, compassion should be taught, and healthy ways to express emotions.
Digital discipline: Limiting contact with violent materials and encouraging creative hobbies such as sports, art or reading can remove the young mind from dangerous effects.
setting goals: Helping children focus on studies, career, or extra curriculum achievements can give them a sense of purpose and reduce the risk of disastrous behavior.
What should be our broad social responsibility?
The Kukuqali case is not a separate event – it is part of a mounting pattern that demands a collective response. Family, schools and communities share responsibility for shaping the values of all young people.
Early consultation, moral education, and safe, nourished environment can lead to a long way before curbing a child’s violent tendency, before they spirals in tragedies.
Young crime is eventually a social problem, one that cannot be solved by policing alone. This requires emotional support at home, moral education in schools and more awareness that affects technology and media young minds.
If it is collectively addressed, experts believe that the cycle of young violence can be broken – and incidents such as Kukuqali murder can be very less common in the future.
