So instead of throwing them out, they will instead make home life unbearable for the child until he runs away. This bill accomplishes nothing.

I'm afraid you are correct.

Seems to me the best option is for some private foundation to set up halfway houses for these kids to get them some decent education and/or vocational and social training that will allow them to assimilate into the larger society.

However, if we look at this in a non-specific context, this is happening all over the world with young men being kicked aside by older men, whether it’s in China or India with their diminished female populations, with polygamous men in Muslim countries, even with viagra-hopped men in the First World seeking to extend their youth, or affirmative action programs that favor young women or young men. Young men are getting the short end of the straw everytime and it’s no wonder there is such an increase of the “rogue elephant” mentality.
