I was born and raised in south east and have seen this terrible and sad parenting style first hand. Yes, there is some incredible cruelty in impoverished parenting. Also, the whole idea of a “whupping” being okay needs to stop.

That said, yes the problem is intractable. It’s getting worse because everyone is too scared to offend another culture by pointing too closely. Also, the whole criminal justice reform movement is hitting smack dab into rising crime. So basically yea. Nothing can be done. Except in 15 years when it’s been too much and we go back to the 1990’s style of policing, [b]which destroyed some families but worked to stop crime[/b].[/quote]

Because it's ok to break some eggs to make omelets, as long as it's your omelets but other people's eggs?[/quote]

You are the problem. And your attitude is spreading like wildfire across the nation. I guess we just get live with increased crime and murders as penance for past inequities or some such bs. We shouldn’t police people. We shouldn’t incarcerate. Even with a 40% increase in crime and violence. Let’s just keep doling our money for school and jobs and all the rest, but ignore the punishment piece.[/quote]

Or, alternatively, what if we tried some strategies that addressed crime without destroying families?[/quote]
