You've clearly never spent time around kids in juvie. It's more a vicious cycle. They get into the system and then end up going back over and over again, until they graduate to adult prison.

“End up” If only they had some agency!

Have you ever seen what these kids' lives are like? They're often in foster care, they have absolutely no one watching out for them. In bad parts of town school discipline issues end up criminalized so kids are sent to juvie for things like fights in school. Then they have a record, making jobs or even the military harder. What life do you think these kids have.

This, of course, is a lie.

The reality is right now society writes off these children pretty much the second they are born. And you think it's surprising they are angry. We made them.

“We” didn’t make anything, unless you are referring to the bigotry of your pathetically low expectations.

Okay yeah, so you don't know anything. Google the school to prison pipeline.

I worked with these kids. Kids in the foster system are treated like absolute trash. By age 17, 50% of them have had an encounter with the criminal justice system. 20% of kids in the foster system end up homeless within 5 years of aging out.

If you think that's on the kids, something is wrong with you.

“had an encounter with the criminal justice system” do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?

Maybe their a**es could use an encounter with a swift kick.

It's a catch all term for arrests and incarceration but you're too lazy to Google.

The fact that you're fantasizing about physically harming foster children really isn't helping with the whole vibe of "psychopath who doesn't see foster kids as human".

"Taught in the home" -> privilege

A lot of these kids are coming from generationally dysfunctional homes. And with a good percentage of them it's not even parents involved, they may be getting shuttled between aunts and grandmas or whoever else, because parents are dead/in jail/otherwise absent. A good friend of mine volunteers on a program for teens in DC, and he says "these kids have absolutely no clue what 'normal' is" - there's extreme dysfunction, complete lack of parenting, lack of teaching of morals and values, and so on. While it's "officially" about things like sports coaching and other types of activities, he tries to teach them morals and values, teaches them about how to make some money honestly and so on. They don't even have the basics.

Why is your way better? You are criticizing a culture.

Explain yourself. There are lots of families that escaped poverty and dysfunction. It's not a necessary part of "culture."

Why is your White European culture the ideal? Who decided that it should be the one that others aspire to?

Why such an extreme, inhumane approach?

We can’t even do the common sense basics. This country’s approach is to make access to abortion and birth control harder and harder. We know a lot of people should not have children and will not be able to raise productive members of society but our voters choose otherwise.

Birth control is easy to come by. Getting people who are ill-equipped and disinclined to be effective parents to use it is another thing altogether. That lack of self-control and discipline is reflected in their unrestrained reproduction without regard to capacity or desire to actually support and raise a family to be productive members of society instead of leeches. Efforts to positively influence uncivilized people who were raised to be uncivilized is way too late in the game.

Mirena or depo provera as a condition of aid would do the trick imho

DP but I agree with PP. unfortunately it has come to this. Especially in DC where women can basically make a living out of having kids they can’t afford and are incapable of parenting.

These unfortunate children grow up feeling worthless. Their own parents don’t value them. What other results could possibly be expected?
