Oh my goodness. Is this really the level of argumentation you've stooped to? I have an equally valid theory: they're all werewolves. You have no proof that they're not, so nyah nyah.
Tell me, did your "youtube search" show you nothing but children from single-parent families? You don't know. You just assumed.
All you've done is regurgitate a stereotype without any supporting evidence whatsoever. It seems to me that the burden of proof rests on you to support your so-called "theory." In that respect, you've failed utterly.
You can go by more than just what a "youtube search shows" you, by the way. Reading isn't the exclusive province of law enforcement.
Case in point, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/4539317.stm

There are articles from 2005 about schools throughout the EU banning camera-phones due to "happy slapping." I'm not sure how old you were in 2005, but not a lot of poor kids were taking camera-phones to school with them back then.
Since you're a big youtube fan, search "happy slapping" instead of "knockout king."
You're gonna see quite a few images like this, which, for some strange reason, aren't being looped 24/7 on Faux News:
Oh, and when they did cover it, in Europe, they attributed it to voyeurism, the tv show "Jackass", and class warfare:

Read: not race, not single mothers.
Sometimes, the evidence just doesn't fit the "theory."
I also ASSUME walking in front of a car might kill me . It may not happen all the time but assumptions can keep you safe just like they can hurt someone.
As far as "burden of proof" lies, this is a discussion of opinions not a court of law, there is actually zero burden on anyone.
Of course Fox news isnt playing clips from Europe in 2005 to illustrate North America in 2013. That is beyond obvious.
If they are a news source worth calling Faux in 2013, why then should their video from 2005 be seen as reliable evidence?
i dont need to prove a correlation between meth heads and car theft when i have seen enough of them steal cars. I'll just tell any junky looking person around my car to bounce, just to save the trouble.
Anyone i grew up with that had no Dad had a lot easier time justifying and participating in criminal behaviour. Seen it with my own eyes everyday.
Heres some fun...
The 2 main points that ALWAYS repeat themselves in regards to youth joining gangs are.....
1) protection
2) "the homies showed me love and family that i didnt get at home".
Many factors contribute to this. Not having a proper male role model IS one of those. If you want to go about ignoring obvious contributing factors in the name of not stereotyping thats cool.
After all, it aint my grandma they are knocking out.
ps... almost every kid in europe had a cell phone in 2005, i was 26 and living there at the time.
