[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t disagree something needs to change. I also agree parents need to be held accountable. However let’s assume this is a single working mom. If she is arrested and has other younger kids what do we do with them? Foster care? Put them in the system? What do we do with kids already in foster care of living with an Aunt or Grandparent, arrest them? If she loses her job because of incarceration then what? It sucks all around. [/quote] There are plenty of working mothers whose kids aren’t out stealing cars repeatedly. There is something more going on at that house. And if there are other kids there, maybe they’ll be better off not being in that environment. And yes, caregivers (no matter who they are) who do nothing when their kid commits multiple crimes should be held responsible. Let’s not let a hypothetical narrative get in the way of trying to address the problem. [/quote]
