[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's has to be some discussion about what parents have and do not have the ability to do. There are parents who just can't be present for their kids due to having to work multiple jobs, etc. Perhaps they are lovely parents but they just cannot be present. Then there parents who are just bad at being parents, and that can be regardless of resource level. There can be societal interventions for the parents that want help, but what happens when there are parents whose children are exhibiting behaviors that are violent or criminal, and who don't even attempt to intervene to alter/help the kids?[/quote] I am reminded of the parent (grandparent?) who, a few years ago, moved her DC out of DC away from the crime and unsavory friends. When he returned to DC to testify against one, he was shot and killed at a metro station. She tried to save him from crime but couldn't. So depressing.[/quote]
