Kids like this never have a chance. The decline of our society is so sad.
The decline of our society is brought about intentionally by our “leaders”.
Dumb’m down, then control them.
It is sad. These kids are a product of the culture. I almost said ‘their’ culture, but it rapidly infiltrating into the ‘mainstream’ culture.
I postulate that the kids are “second-generation ‘gangsta/ghetto’.” Their parents/guardians also grew up in the ‘gangsta’ culture and simply do not see anything out of the ordinary with it.
In some way, it is like the Country Club parents renting a party-bus to transport their kids to the weekend after-party house at the Shore, anticipating the kids will just experiment with alcohol, and maybe get to ‘second-base.’ They don't see anything wrong with that.
The ‘Gangsta/ghetto’ culture is currently more violent and misogynistic. It is, however, becoming mainstream.
I do not know what the answer is, except to do our best to educate and take care of our own kids as well as we can.
