I was shocked by the fatal punishment of the 10-year-old boy who was locked up in a suitcase by his parents.

How could parents do such a cruel and unacceptable thing to their child?

This should serve as a wake-up call to the government to criminalise such punishments.

I think punishments of this kind should be banned at school and home to prevent such a tragedy happening again.

We should have appropriate punishment but not fatal punishment.

After all, it's important to remember: a fault confessed is half redressed.
