I think that any ( Child &Youth) who commits a violent crime and or it leads to themselves being harmed, the parents should get a third to half of the time as the person involved as well? I promise you that if parents were threatened with doing part of the time like their child and the person involved, the crime rate will drop? NO Parent is willing to do life for stupidity 💯
No where your kids are 💯🤲🏿❤️
It’s not racist if it’s true. Stop shooting each other
@agentalli you people are doing it too, tell the media to report that
Why are they twerking outside the scene of a mass shooting? Why are the parents allowed to have kids smh
