After the extreme violence against Zakaria (15) in Anderlecht: are youth gangs becoming increasingly brazen? “Exactly like a video game. But you can’t buy an extra life”

Zakaria (15) was set on fire in Anderlecht last weekend by some other teenagers. Sources close to the investigation speak of two “youth gangs” who came to blows. Perhaps that discussion does not revolve around drugs. But what can young people argue about so much that they set someone on fire? And should we fear more violence? HLN asked some experts. “They want to be successful and loved just like everyone else, but they pursue that in the wrong way.”
