"...that's indicative of a larger issue in Detroit..."Lack of accountability is part of the devolution and destruction of Black America, and indeed, all of America. When the only time a person is held to a standard of behavior or gets a "corrective reading" is in a courtroom, it is many years too late.
By then the die has been set, and the concept of "keepin' it real" does not involve raising your offspring and being a responsible member of your community.

I agree. About all we can do now is separate the kids from the parents. I suggest an army boot camp boarding school with some tough old staff sargents to discipline the kids. After a few years of that they might actually become functional adults.
