Importance of Security Guards in Schools or Colleges

I remember one day my little sister came home and told me something, which made me think about the topic of this article. Usually, when she comes home she asks for food and starts frolicking around.
She is a little happy girl of 9 years of age, enjoying and living the carefree life of a kid. That day she came home with a grave face and looked a bit terrified and was unusually quiet. One look at her and I knew something was very wrong. Upon asking her what was bugging her mind I found out that one of her friends was missing after school and there was police on the scene.
I read the newspaper and found out that the little girl who was missing was kidnapped and abductors were asking for 10 Lakhs as ransom. Luckily police apprehended the kidnappers in time and the kid was freed. At that time one question came into my mind that where were the security guards or any security services at that time.
But I was petrified. So were my parents. Believe me when I say that I was almost shaking when I heard the news first that a kid was kidnapped right from outside the school. That abducted girl could have been my little sister. And since that day, every day when my little kid sister goes to school both me and my parents feel uneasy until she is safely home. And we dread the next day when she will go to school again.

Nowadays, Safety has become a big issue!!!

This problem of safety in schools and colleges is becoming widespread around the globe today. Crime rates are increasing tremendously and today’s lack of morals in the society is turning the world into a living hell.
There have been various cases of kidnappings and molestation of kids. In some cases, teachers were themselves involved in the crimes. Cases of eve teasing are very common and you can always find some unethical elements standing outside schools which are not co-ed and are particularly for girls, waiting like predators and eyeing the kids with hungry eyes.
This is the world we live in today and everywhere we see is the high lack of security services. And it is not just the kids, even the teachers aren’t safe. In my own school days, I myself witnessed a group of boys beating a teacher after school as the teacher scolded them in class for their disturbing behavior.
We understand that these educational places have a very tense environment. The kids here are growing and their thought process is very different from adults. They are full of energy and sometimes have destructive thoughts. They need to be cared for seriously. Their security must be always the topmost priority.

What needs to be done against such an issue?

To make these places of education safe for both kids and teachers working there, some kind of security or deterrent is required which will keep an eye on everything and help those in need.
