January 18, 200917 yr Single parents are a major problem as well. Some single parents do a spectacular job, Rockmom comes to mind. Often though it can be a real hindrance on children. I don't disagree with you, but sometimes children are better off with only one parent than the two that they were born with.
January 18, 200917 yr Would allowing young children to watch some of these movies or play some of these video games fall under the umbrella of bad parenting?
January 18, 200917 yr Haven't juvenile crime rates actually went down since the late 80's early 90's?
January 18, 200917 yr My opinion is that these things aren't part of the problem at all, it's poor parenting more than anything else followed by kids hanging around a bad crowd. Your feelings? My feelings are the same as yours.
January 18, 200917 yr Author Would allowing young children to watch some of these movies or play some of these video games fall under the umbrella of bad parenting?Well, yes, depending on their age and the game or movie. :thumb:
January 18, 200917 yr Author I don't disagree with you, but sometimes children are better off with only one parent than the two that they were born with.I have also seen cases like this, I can agree with that.

January 19, 200917 yr Nature over nurture, no doubt about it. I personally feel a child is either born evil or not. I've long believed in something that I call (I can't claim ownership) the "rubber band theory". Genetics determines the size of the rubber band. Environment determines how far it stretches.
January 19, 200917 yr Haven't juvenile crime rates actually went down since the late 80's early 90's? Serious juvenile crime hit a peak in 93/94 and has gone down since according to the FBI.

I'm not saying this is the case here. But I would challenge this with the knowledge that the total # of these crimes has climbed, along with a greater percentage of them going unsolved. Since you can't prove who did something, you can't specifically lump it as a juvenile crime, even though it was most likely committed by a youth. Kids are becoming better/smarter thugs.

As far as drug related crimes, they are being better coached all the time!
