[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should focus on housing, providing mental health services and other holistic wrap around services for teens and the mentally ill.... many of whom are Vietnam veterans.

I heard someone on the radio mention they are a social worker and found teens who are committing the acts do not have food in their homes and are often unsupervised due to lack of proper parental care.

This country should be ashamed of itself for not doing enough for its taxed citizens.

Failure to care for everyone in society leads to these kind of outcomes. [/quote]

It’s not 80 year old Vietnam vets that are carjacking and shooting people in the head.

Heard the same radio show; Remove the teens from this environment is the only answer.

The city is already spending 115 million dollars per year on services!  Yet it doesn’t help![/quote]

Research has shown that removing teens from their support systems only makes the problem worse. [/quote]

I don't think the teens we are talking about have much of a support system. [/quote]
