The absence of proper role models is having an impact on the society. The police are going to detain three schoolboys who have assembled at a popular spot in their community because one of them would be seen threatening an older person.
A search would reveal offensive weapons on all of them, suggesting that they may be a gang. They would be emulating some older boys in the community.

Despite all the warnings, the police would be left stunned when they receive the news that a vehicular accident would be caused by a drag racing group of young men. The vehicle would collide with an approaching van, resulting in serious injuries to the occupants of both vehicles.

Another river accident would occur because of poor maintenance of a vessel. This boat would strike an object and would spring a leak even as it is ferrying people.
Fortunately, others in the neighbourhood would be there to effect the rescue.
