WHAT is going on with some of the kids today? Going around in gangs, stabbing or shooting, and too often killing other teenagers and adults.
Where are their parents (or more often parent)? What are they doing to correct this terrible situation?
I suspect that many are completely unaware of, or could not care, what their children are doing until they get a phone call or visit from the police saying that they are being held at the police station.
I think the number of children involved is only a fairly small percentage but it is far too many for me and the families of their victims.
I don't know what the answer is but, if the child is under 18, perhaps the parent(s) should also be charged?
