It seems like it would be a lot better to just pass a law banning irresponsible people from having kids in the first place.

The boys were known for spray-painting graffiti, . . .Two friends survived because they were not on the tracks.
Hmmm. Does there appear to be any relationship here between personal responsibility and individual actions? Me thinks the problem isn't sufficient regulations of the railway.

The best way to prevent this problem is a two-step approach...
Step 1: Enforce vandalism laws, with heavy fines and penalties for perpetrators, regardless of age.
Step 2: Aggressively paint over or clean graffiti whereven and whenever it is found.
If you raise the cost of graffiti as you lower the reward (because any work completed will be removed within days), idjit kids will soon find another way to waste their time.

The word “trespassing” takes away any possible point the families may have or want to make to lessen their grief. Very similar to the usual words of families following a fatal shooting in the ghetto: “He was a good boy, just getting his life together, singing in the choir, yada yada”

... were trespassing on the rail yards under the interchange ... Two friends survived because they were not on the tracks. There's not a law in the world that will stop teenagers from doing stupid stuff.
