Again, I don't typically trust the government to fairly apply laws across the board so it's tough, but I don't think it's outlandish to hold parents liable for what their kids do in certain cases.
If I'm a minor, driving recklessly, and I injure someone, my parents will be held liable for the damages that I caused...
Both my parents worked too, but they made sure that me and my brother were where we were supposed to be and out of trouble.
If your 12 year old is out committing armed robberies and stealing Kias at 11 pm, I don't think it's out of bounds to question what the kid's parents/guardians are doing
Now do child pregnancy and statutory rape.
Obviously, there is much room for improvement regarding social programs. Some of them seem to prioritize internal accolades and pseudo-awards over the efficiency of their organization. I think it's necessary to reassess and potentially eliminate programs that do not work well or consolidate them with more effective ones. Some of the proposed preventive programs for youth development were met with ridicule instead of serious consideration. Suggestions to criminalize children before they've even committed a crime is insane.
It is true. Go look it up. People are more likely to kill those they're surrounded by. People mainly live in enclaves. Therefore who are the ones they are most likely going to have issues with? The people they are surrounded by. Thus they will likely be in contention with those who are similar to them. Crime stats reflect that. The media doesn't publish that because it goes against the narratives they like to push.
Many of these programs are cash grabs and thus need to be restructured or need some form of oversight in order to continue to exist. There is one that I know of that only shows up AFTER shootings take place and they all stand up in one place not doing anything worth a damn playing loud old school rap. The real proper programs that we need either don't exist or they are severely underfunded.
You would have to check in with local politicians and see what they recommend and even they are in line with the *******. They can be given a budget for funding of these programs and instead of giving an already existing established program the nod/funding, they would rathed tap on their friend or family to spin up some overnight bs program and give them the recommendation/funding instead.Playing loud old school rap got me in tears
I could see that, what i've come to notice is that those who are trying to make REAL change are the ones who usually under supported. Thing is how do we go about separating the fake from the real on a larger scale?
Like you said, you know of only a few proper programs & i would assume you know of them because they did/do work in your community. But for those who aren't directly in the community & want to at least lend a hand when it comes to funding, how would they know how to separate the real from the scammers.
