conclusion that he may commit any mistake but his parents will certainly favour him. Do not do so. It will affect your child badly and he will inspire himself to do wrong things and he will follow a path leading to more harmful things.
I describe an incident frequently as it is a great motivational incident. The incident follows that the police arrived to the house of a certain rich man and told him that they had to arrest his son. The reason was pointed out that three children had molested a girl at the Gate way of India. They told that they had arrested two out of three and had come to his house in search of the last one. The rich man went to his son's room and came to know the reality. The son accepted that the matter was right because his father had known it. The rich man coming outside, told the police to arrest his son from his room. The police arrested the boy and when they were about to depart, the rich man gave Rs. 5000 to the police and told that he was not giving the money to free his son but he was giving for teaching him such a lesson that he(boy) could never molest a girl during the whole period of his life. Such a father can make his son a better human being!
Once when George Washington was told to take an oath on the name of the Bible in the court in order to tell everything true what he told but Washington refused to take such an oath and told that he had not told anything lie so far so he need not putting his hand on the Bible while taking an oath. And he disclosed the secret that he told a lie before his mother once when he was young and his mother, having been slapped him, told that she would like to be addressed as the mother without son instead of liking to be addressed as a mother of a liar son if he kept on stealing the things. After that incident, George never told a lie in his life. Such a brave mother can prepare a son in real!
