[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having fathers who are good role models in the home would be the thing that makes the biggest difference. [/quote] We have done that. They aren't getting locked away for minor crimes. They still don't seem to be interested in raising children. We need to motivate these young men. Perhaps provide a financial incentive?[/quote] I think about this when I see the big groups of men in their 20s and 30s who gather on street corners near my house to smoke, shoot the sh*t, drink, listen to music, etc. I bet 90%+ of these men have kids. Very occasionally I see one of their kids with them at these gatherings. A generation ago these men might have been arrested for public drug use, drinking, and the low level drug trade they engage in. Now they aren't. But either way, they aren't with their kids. Does this benefit anyone?[/quote]
