Jarasan, I agree with you. But many of these children come from families where 2 parents work 2 jobs or there aren't 2 parents. They're not necessarily "pushover parents" but if Mom can't be there when the kids get home from school, then the community needs to have programs that keep them out of trouble.

Kids need to fear consequences, all this stuff should be dealt with locally. Most kids today are OK, the problems start when the village starts getting involved unnecessarily. Discipline is discipline, every parent I know that was a good disciplinarian, the kids turned out well. The pushover parents are of course another story. You gotta be involved with your kids now, they have a myriad of distractions compared to 20-30 years ago. Too much info, too quick.
