Schools and colleges need security guards
She’s a happy, carefree nine-year-old girl who enjoys and lives life to the fullest. Her face was grave, she looked terrified, and she was particularly quiet that day. My first glance at her told me something was wrong. I found out that one of her friends had gone missing after school and that police were on the scene when I asked her what was bothering her.
The newspaper reported that a little girl was kidnapped and her abductors demanded 10 lakhs as ransom. Luckily, police were able to apprehend the kidnappers in time and free the child. When I was in that situation, I wondered where the security guards or security services were.
It terrified me, though. The same was true for my parents. At first, I almost shook when I heard that a kid had been kidnapped right outside the school. Since that day, every day when my little kid sister goes to school, my parents and I feel uneasy until she is safely home. And we dread the day when she will go back to school the next day.
The issue of safety has become increasingly important in the modern world!
Increasing crime rates and a lack of morals in society are turning the world into a living hell as a result of school and college safety issues.
Many cases have involved kidnappings and molestation of children, and teachers have sometimes been implicated in these crimes as well. Eve teasing is very common, and you can always find unethical elements waiting outside schools that are not co-ed and are specifically aimed at girls, staring at the kids like predators.
This is the world we live in today, and everywhere we see a lack of security services. Kids aren’t the only ones who are unsafe; teachers are as well. As a student, I witnessed a group of boys beating a teacher after school because the teacher had scolded them in class for their disturbing behavior.
There is no doubt that educational institutions can be very stressful places to be. There is a huge difference between the way kids think and the way adults think. Their thoughts are often destructive and they have a lot of energy. It is imperative that they receive serious attention. Securing their safety is always essential.
In terms of safety, things have gotten worse!
Terrorist groups target schools because they are easy targets and contain children who can easily be taken hostage because security facilities are inadequate.
It is then possible for them to make demands to the government, and the government may agree to them because everyone has a soft spot for children.
The world has already experienced several mass shootings in schools and colleges, where children and teachers have been killed in cold blood. One of such attacks happened in Peshawar of Pakistan.
I won’t go into the gory details of the attack, but I can tell you that it was a very brutal attack without mercy. Click here to learn more about other such attacks: attacks on humanity
You must have felt disgusted and scared like me if you have gone through the link. In today’s world, this is the reality. It’s a world where predators will do anything to get what they want.
Is there anything that can be done to resolve this issue?
A deterrent or security system is needed to ensure the safety of both kids and teachers at these places of education.
Which option is best?
It is best to hire security guards or security services who can observe the kids and help them when they aren’t being taught in class or after they have finished school or college.
Some schools now hire security services or guards from security agencies, but most of the time it is just for the sake of name recognition. A serious disaster is not something they are prepared for. Security guards are usually potbellied and under equipped for serious situations.
