Another boy beaten: 'Blood was all over street' - Chicago Breaking News

Something has to give with our nations youth. Are our neighborhoods getting so bad, that parents and the clergy have given up on these kids? Should we put down the remote and walk with our children to and from school, just to ensure their safety? And what do we say to the ones not in school, but standing on the street corners selling drugs, or just hanging-out because they dropped-out and can't find work? What has made these kids so violent to one another? Yes these are difficult questions, yet they do have many solutions. The number one solution begins at home. The second, takes hold in the clergy. And the third, goes directly at our schools.

We must look at the home-life of these children out on the streets, with no alternatives of structure to guide them into a more positive direction. If there is a two-parent household, we must ask if both parents work? Should it be a single-parent household, does that parent work? Such questions play a vital role in the development of children. There must be an adult present to give these wayward kids the structure they so desperately need. Without such guidance, we see the bloody aftermath left in the wake. This child should have never been treated in such a hateful, vile, and disgusting manner. The destruction of minority families has a long history in the United States. You can trace it as far back with the "Willie Lynch Letter 1772". This letter applies to all minorities to this very day. There are just too many households without a father figure, here in the United States. How did this happen? For starters, just look at the requirements for mothers applying for "Public Aid". The fathers income, no matter how little they make, is too much for the mother to qualify for assistance to maintain the home. So, the father has to go.

Now with the father figure gone, discipline, structure, and guidance suffers. Because those additional responsibilities fall on the mother. This is where the clergy and the father, really, really needs to step in. These two figures must rally the pulpit and ensure the children have a source to seek for discipline, structure, and guidance. Yet alas, the success rate is not very impressive. Churches, have taken some very arcane positions on social issues, that raise doubts in some minds as to their effectiveness in helping communities. Have churches surrounded themselves with a "everything is okay, until you mess with our interest mentality"? Some might say yes, others, no. But churches have been absent from ongoing struggles within their own communities. With all the advances in "instant communications", our churches need to get out, and go back too door-to-door communications. Churches just can't hide, or ignore young people hanging around a liquor store, or selling drugs, just a block away. They must step up, and protect the children, and communities.

Lastly, there are the schools. Ever since discipline was wrenched from the hands of the teachers (with parental permission), our children have become increasingly belligerent towards adults. For this nation to take away a vital tool for discipline, structure, and guidance for our kids, is just like what prohibition did to this country, it increased crime. Discipline has to be restored in our schools, just like prohibition was repealed. Our teachers should, and must be in command of the classroom. That is what helps our children learn. When we removed the father figure from the homes, the teachers filled that void with discipline, structure, and guidance for these children. We should have never taken control from teachers. They are the spark that lights up the brilliant minds of our children. Now they are being snuffed-out by senseless acts of violence, from a lack of education.
