Where'd I say that? Post the link.
If the kid is engaged in actual criminal activity, then prosecute them for it, but skipping school is not a matter of morals and criminal behavior as is theft, breaking and entering, forgery, etc.
Skipping school should not be a crime. School should not be mandatory under threat of state action. That reduces our country to a police state.
Sounds like the parents here are more to blame than the kids if this is the case.
Messed up kids are the result of messed up parents. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
But mandatory public school attendance is not the answer or solution. So what if they skip school to commit crimes? If they were in school, they'd just wait until the school day is over. Being in school is not going to stop them. It will not straighten out messed up kids and unless they're kept there under guard 24/7, then they will still be committing the crimes, just on a different time schedule.
When I went to public school I never skipped school once.
So what?
so what? You make excuses for criminal teen behavior but just say “so what?” about kids that do the right thing.... Might want to change your signature if you’re really a Christian metmom...
