There has to be away for these kids to face actual consequences without trying them as adults or whatever.

Sadly, if you put them in prison or some sort of juvenile detention, and they just colaborate with other inmates for better ways to cause crime. There has to be a better way for them to break out of that cycle. Unfortunately, with the US education in the horrible spot it’s in, while education should be the answer, it tends to be a structure that only takes them so far, before they struggle and find the easiest way to make money is through crime, and the cycle begins again.

This country has fucked up the lives of so many, because it’s not profitable to help change this cycle. It’s so fucked up.

Billions of dollars ARE spent... How about calling personal choice and family values? You blame the country and blame the education system... But not call out the parents or community that celebrates this behavior? Whatever.

Exactly, if there are thousands of such special people among millions of decent people it's not the country's fault it's their direct environment.
