These kids are just re-enacting what they see at home all the time, with mama on her back and all the drug-dealing “uncles” visiting.
It’s the same in any ghetto in America.
How can society hope to civilize these kids when they have already been immersed in the most immoral of cultures?
Here’s a good summary of Spearsville. It’s a very small rural area at a very Northern point of Louisiana. I don’t think it’s rife with drug dealers.
