[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not keeping your kids in homes, schools and in productive activities should be criminalized and both parents and schools should be held accountable. Our youth deserves a chance, give them growth mindset not victim mentality. Everyone above 13 should be in a sport, activity, internship or job after school. Don't let them waste but build their future. Any drug or crime should lead to penalty of taking extra courses and doing extra community hours. [/quote]

Oh wow you are never going to accomplish this. I mean even parents who have their kids in sports and activities are not going to sign off on a law that REQUIRES them to do it, that's not reasonable.

I do think much tougher enforcement for school truancy is needed. There are kids who go to a school once or twice a week starting in kindergarten. I know schools do outreach and CPS gets involved, but it's not cutting it. How about we make sure kids actually go to school before we start forcing them to work or do activities after school.[/quote]

Whjy cant parent be held accountable for crimes committed by their kids?  They have legal rights to everything else related to their kids?[/quote]

Usually Dad is in jail , deadbeat, or otherwise not in the picture. Mom has her own issues- mentally , pre occupied, checked out, never home, etc.

These are highly dysfunctional, no positive role model, really sad families . These kids' formative years were not with people who win parent of the year awards.[/quote]

Well, if kids are in school for most waking hours, there is an escape and an opportunity, for children and parents both. [/quote]

The gangs are in the schools. [/quote]

Break them up, smaller class size, mandatory sports/extracurriculars, required service hours, part time work, strict policies, anti-gang culture. There are many ways to bring change.[/quote]
