Yours is the only accurate post so far. What we have is a generation of young men, sons of mothers with multiple sons sired by multiple men.
The young learn from observing their elders, whether human or lion cubs, and the young men in this country increasingly have NO exposure to the advantages of a caring father.
No stern look, no pointed finger, no raised voice, no whack on the butt, nothing that TEACHES that youngster the ways the world works. No lesson in manners, no direction of courtesy, never does he hear the loudly spoken word “NO!!”.
Thus, the streets belong to young feral animals.
Lions are raised in prides, wildebeest in herds. In a pride, all siblings are very closely related, closer even than they are to the parents. In wildebeest, who knows, but they are not monogamous.
We are in the process of changing (devolving if you will pardon the value judgement) from a society composed of families (prides) to one dominated by a mother-child relationship (herd).
It does not suit me but we may be too late to change back.
As grandparents, my husband and I have taken on that role..the one our grandson’s father should have taken. He abandoned two children and is furious our daughter had the state of Texas garnish his wages. But we are blessed to have a beautiful grandson. He is an absolute joy. His father has missed so much.
