It all starts at home! Raise your children right, and if you can't or don't want to, give them to someone who will raise them right. Just because you can have kids doesn't mean that you should. The parents need to take a lot of blame for their kids out here acting a fool. The new generation of youth coming up is becoming more and more lost by the day.

@User825 they do not know any better ignorance is bliss.

You can’t clean up the crime when you got DAs refusing to press charges

@cntwt2bounce and that’s the problems

househoboAug 28 at 12:22 AM

Stop glorifying gun and gang violence. Stop having kids that you can’t parent appropriately. Stop blaming other people for your inadequacies.

@househobo exactly that the new way for not accepting responsibility.. some parents are to afraid to search their teenagers belongs. It’s time for parents to search and report . It will save a whole lots of lives. But again these parents who don’t care until it hits home are alcoholics, weed smokers. Holes , Getto and etc.. but at some point they need to be held accountable for their school dropouts
