Until every random idiot and/or teen in America no longer has easy access to guns, nothing will change.

Until every parent can work 1 or 0 jobs and provide a good life for their kids nothing will change.

don’t agree a parent can work & still teach values & discipline, back in the day the neighbors were respected & helped keep an eye out on the kids on the block

That's not our culture anymore.

And I agree with your above statement, but if parents are working multiple jobs, then they may have less time/ability to be active in their children's lives.

There were always be the cloud of personal responsibility hanging over everything, but when the system is stacked against success...

Are parents soooo much better in other countries that their kids don’t ever get into trouble? Doubtful. It’s just that those kids don’t have and can’t get any guns.
