Should one leave if one is a minor?
There is a separate law for minors in India, which is called Juvenile Justice Act. Under this law, children under 18 years of age are also considered responsible for misbehavior, but the method of punishment is different for them.
In such cases, children are counseled and parents are also involved. In serious cases, one can also be sent to a juvenile home.

This incident has raised a big question as to why children are behaving like this at such a young age. To some extent, upbringing, influence of social media and environment may also be responsible for this.
Such incidents in public places like Delhi Metro not only create inconvenience but also show the changing behavior of the society. It is important that strict steps are taken in such cases in time, so that such incidents can be prevented in future.
