A MAN has been warned to change his behaviour and listen to his parents otherwise he will go to prison.
Lae District Court Magistrate Isaac Tjipet issued the warning to Benjamin Alois, 25, from Maprik in East Sepik who admitted in court using threatening behaviour to provoke a breach of peace.
On Sept 24 between 2am and 3am, Alois after drinking with his friends arrived home and argued with his parents who are lecturers at an institute in Lae.
He tried to destroy properties in the house with his hands.
He repeated the same thing the next day.
“Respect your parents and obey them and you will be a good person in your community.
“It is also stated in the Bible that children have to obey their parents which is the right and correct thing to do,” Magistrate Tjipet said.
“You have a long way to go as a student, and along life to live.
“So respect and obey your parents.”
Police prosecutor Sergeant Vincent Suakai asked the court to hand Alois a custodial sentence since the offence had become prevalent.
But the court took into account that Alois was a first-time offender and had admitted the offence early.
Magistrate Tjipet fined Alois K300 in default six months in jail.
His K300 bail was converted to pay the fine.
He was put on a good behaviour bond for six months on the condition that he will maintain peace at all times, not consume drugs and alcohol, and not commit any offence.

  • Benjamin Alois – pekpek pulap lo bel blo you. You’re not even working and cant even support yourself but seem fit to go drink come back home and destroy properties in the house that were bought by your hard working parents. You don’t even have a house of your own but living under the shelter of your parents institutional house..

    Listen to your parents and obey them because otherwise you will regret that you didn’t.

  • Quite a common experience for working parents. How can we stop this kind of behavior from our own children? We can suggest all kinds of solutions but some times, children don’t take in what we suggest? Is it to do with the child’s thinking process?

  • Likely result of lack of good caning and belting when the boy was younger.
    Now grass kamap lo olgeta hap em bai hard lo stretim.

  • How they behave later depends on how the parents disciplined him and brought him up from an early age.

    Children imitate what they see in their parents.
