In Argentina where I hail from, such people would be regularly picked up and would find themselves "drafted" into military service. It gives people purpose, discipline and direction.

I think such a policy would be to some advantage. Those who are anti-social and mentally ill would be weeded out and institutionalized so they are no longer a danger to themselves and others.

We can't put 15 year old children in the miliatry and tdhe Dem shut down most of the mental institution decades ago.

Unfortunately, a lot of homeless kids /teens are runaways. Some come from horrible families...others come from good, stable homes.
