| [Dhaka Tribune] A trial court judge has observed that the meritorious young generation is going astray as they are loosing morality nowadays. As a result, they are being motivated by others towards the wrong path. Dhaka's Special Trial Tribunal 3 Judge Sayeed Ahmed made the observation while delivering judgement in secular blogger Ahmed Rajeeb Haider murder case. Seven expelled students of North South University and a religious scholar were given punishment on various terms in the case. The judge urged parents, students, law enforcers and people from all walks of life to prevent a situation that may create chaos in the society. |

| #2 Prey to radicals and the machines: Teen deaths from texting and driving have outnumbered those from drunk driving. A study conducted by the Cohen Children’s Medical Center in Hyde, New York, revealed that over 3,000 teens deaths per year are associated with texting while driving. In comparison, researchers found that around 2,700 teens died in accidents attributed to driving drunk. The discrepancy may have something to do with ease of access. Dr. Andrew Adesman of the Cohen Children’s Center points out that while teens may not drink on a daily basis, they always carry their cell phones. Constant access may make it difficult for teens to ignore text messages and phone calls. As reported by CBS News, despite education about the dangers, over 50 percent of teens admit texting while driving. Additionally, researchers found that laws against texting while driving have little impact. Fifty-seven percent of the teens surveyed admitted texting and driving, even in states where it is against the law. The US Department of Transportation and the National Highways Traffic Safety Administration have partnered to present Distraction.gov. The website offers facts and statistics, along with real stories of lives shattered due to driving while texting or distracted. Link |
