    Stop pointing a finger at the poor boy. He came from a respectable family and was a member of AIESEC. For all you know it could have be the pressure of competing with his fellow AIESECers way of life and ninge drinking and partying made him feel inadequate and pushed him to steal. There are several kids like him. His only fault is he got caught. Society that promotes such habits is to be blames.

    walter was one of my best friend. but now I hate him because of what he did. I had got the first clue about his doings when I had asked him to copy paste my internet in his laptop and he did so in all the laptops.

    Walter's parents did the right thing by not giving excess money to their son. Its his own falt - may be a bad friends circle. I have seen children getting spoiled by their own parents by giving them whatever required,but never heard of robbery like this. He must be addicted and Im sure it's due to bad company!

    In this regard blaming the parents it is pointless. God has given him a good brain But his vices lead him to wrong destination.If character is lost everything is lost!!! proverb applies for such characters that's it.
