There is something very wrong with our nations youth. The age-old story of the strong singling out the weak, is proven time and again, no matter age difference. Yet the increase in attacks by youths, begs one to question the parent/(s).

Are the children in school on a regular basis? Why are they out on the streets with an 18 year old or older? Why have they chose to rob, shoot, deal drugs, and engage in other illegal activity? Where are the adults in these youths lives? Where are the pastors, ministers, preachers, rabbis, and clerics? Why are they not assisting police by patrolling the streets with their respective congregations? Why are they not offering alternatives to these kids? What are these congregations doing with that "Faith-Based Initiative" money?

What's the alternative? Build more detention facilities? I have a suggestion. Raise the sentencing guidelines. Make probation a last resort option. Make the parent/(s) pay a higher fine. Lastly, legalize and tax marijuana. Doing such will unleash funding for more police, social programs, and job opportunities. There is something wrong with our nations youth. And these may be some solutions to attempt to correct it.
