I know it doesn’t sound far, but, the kids are caught, punish the parents. Maybe cut off welfare until all money’s are paid back. Make the kids work for free, at whatever job, doesn’t matter, until they pay back 3x’s what they stole and the cost of court ect. Send the kids to some kind of boot camp. Cut off all welfare that the kid would have gotten once they are off mom’s/grandma’s welfare. We all know most of these kids will go on to have kids, and never get off welfare. And their kids will even be worse then these kids are. These kids have been raised with absolutely no discipline of any kind. Their parents have failed them, government has failed them by throwing money at a problem with absolutely no strings attached, the government run school system has failed them.
work for free? Dat be slavery!
