There can be sympathy for the loved ones, that said, the discussion does remind me of similar discussions regarding of the teenager arrested for theft and vandalism in Singapore in the 90s [1]. Outrage over him being caned.
I'm sorry, but travelers to a foreign country need to be at least cognizant of local customs (read the section in a travel book before going), and if they break the rules, expect to face consequences.

- jorgecurio 11y agoWe could really use caning to discipline juvenile offenders. Nothing like a good ass whooping to teach kids right from wrong. Unfortunately, grounding kids only work for those within the safety nets of middle class. It is not enough nor is it realistic to threaten to take away a child's things when there's nothing to take away because of poverty.
