Mr Lim LH, 52, a property agent, is worried sick. His daughter Eileen(pictured left, without studs) has run away from home since 24 September after he raised his voice at her for being rude. She had been playing computer games and he had reminded her to eat, and when she was rude to him, he shouted at her. He went into the kitchen after that and when he came out, she was already gone. She had left home just a few days before on 16 September, but had returned home on 18 September after her father lodged a report with the police, only to leave once again.
Mr Lim has been so upset he has not been at work since then, and has been going around game centres and places she frequents to look for her. She has not attended school the past five days, and has her PSLE examinations to take next week.
According to him, Eileen got to know a girl, Vivian, through a classmate, and had started frequenting game centres since then, with funds given to her by Vivian.
Mr Lim had gone to Vivian's home on 27 September to look for his daughter and saw her schoolbag in Vivian's home, but saw no sign of the two girls. He called Vivian on her mobile phone, and she promised to bring his daughter home but till now, Eileen has yet to return. Eileen's teachers had also been trying to contact her and Vivian, who is a school drop-out, but to no avail. Mr Lim has also made a police report again to try and get her home.
So Eileen, where are you?
What do you think? How can we help kids who have gone astray and run away from home? Tell us.

"mei chang dao ku tou bu zhi ku"
a good suggestion posted by a reader in the forum
"I suggest to all parents out there who are unable to control their child after putting in your UTMOST effort to do so to apply for a Beyond Parental Control Complaint. This allows the Subordinate Court of Singapore to issue warnings/summons/punishments upon the child in order for him to change and hopefully listen to his/her parents.
This is what BPC is about. Qouted from http://www.subcourts.gov.sg/Juvenile/profile_BPC.htm
Under Section 50 of the Children and Young Persons Act (CYPA), the Juvenile Court only makes a Beyond Parental Control (BPC) order if the Parent can prove that the Child or Young Person is beyond his control, that he/she understands and consents to the making of the order and the Court is satisfied that it is expedient so to deal with the Child or Young Person. Before the complaint is sworn, the Parents are attended to by counsellors from the Singapore Children's Society who will try and resolve the matter without Court intervention"
in the end
i believe
"spare the rod and spoil the child"
