i think everyone has the potential to become a positive force in society, but they have to have had the proper guidance at some point. since we know they haven't had it yet, who's to say they will receive it? instead of becoming a statistic, most likely to commit crimes in adulthood, why not end the problem now before some family loses a loved-one?
i know this is really negative, but i was just thinking out loud. it's a real good "what-if", though.

You are exactly right with that though. I have to drive through "Back Maryland Ave" aka the projects....to get ANYWHERE.....Route 30, Expressway, Brigantine.....So I have no choice but to drive through it. I can drive through there during the week and during the day when ALL school aged kids are in school......I must say that I see just as many school aged kids running around there as I do on a Sat. in July! So like someone else mentioned.....these kids have no parently guidence. Mother doesnt care and doesnt have the money for the kids to have things that they want and need (so the kids steal the stuff from others instead) Who knows where the father is- they aren't going to school......*isnt that great for Future America* - and the law lets them get away with EVERYTHING....Again as someone stated....it's almost like the law is protecting the criminals!!
