Stand up and take action. If that happens in your neighbourhood, or you have noticed around you, speak up and report the police about it. Don't cross your hands and do nothing.

First, I am going to check if the now the meaning of "right"; if they do it, I will join it with the meaning of the word kid and together, it will be the meaning of kids' rights.

What we must do for them
What they shouldn't do
What they should receive
What they may become...

Don't Look Back in Anger
Look Back in Anger was published in 1957 by John Osborne, an British playwright who belonged to the Angry Young Men group generation. As Robert Stewart remarks "Look Back in Angen is seen as an expression of frustration with Britain's post war situation. Britain's economy was slow to recover from the war nand the inadequate response of an outdated elite that still clung to ideas of empire and privilege fueled dissesion that is given voice in Jimmy Porter, the protagonist of Osborne's play. In many ways he is a rebel with cause"
