Kidnapping: Why I blame parents for exposing their children on social media

With such tough economic times, majority of people are struggling to make ends meet; forcing some pyschos to turn to crime. Petty crime such as mugging has gone up on the streets, mainly perpetrated by groups of jobless youth and boda boda people.

Due to the curfew, I think night crime has drastically reduced. What has gone up in the criminal world is kidnapping. I think criminals have found an easier way to extort Kenyans. Kidnapping was not common in the country. We only used to hear stories from cities in South Africa and countries such as Nigeria because of Boko Haram.
