I’m writing this column a few hours after an accident that came to pass at the PlusOne Night Club in Paceville in the early morning hours on Sunday could have had worse consequences. Like many other parents I went to pick up my daughter and her friends and witnessed chaotic scenes with scores of young people in utter shock and an equally large number of youngsters having to be admitted to hospital, a couple with severe injuries, after a glass banister gave way. I will leave it up to the investigators to determine what caused this mayhem but I feel compelled as a parent and more so as an academic focused on trying to understand youth lifestyles to share some reflections...
