When I worked in the IT department of our local juvenile justice detention center I wondered why there were so many kids there. So I decided to ask the probation officers what was the cause, and every single one of the 19 probation officers said it goes back to the parents. Specifically the cycle of parental neglect. As teens the parents themselves came from neglected homes, so when they left home they lacked proper parental skills themselves and had no idea how to raise kids, except to neglect them like their own parents did. This cycle goes back generations. It's very sad.
I recall replacing a computer component in a classroom by a juvenile fascinated in what I was doing. I will never forget the look of pure happiness on his face as I explained what I was doing and there was a lucrative future in it. I walked out thinking how sad it was all these kids needed was just simple attention. I suppose tough love is better than no love in their lives. These kids need help now, they're our future. Just my experience I thought I'd pass along.
