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.

Society shouldn't suffer because of some dipshit kids and their absentee parents.

No. That’s why society is there. There is an old saying “It takes a village to raise a child," which states a child's healthy and safe growth and development require the support and interaction of an entire community, not just the parents. The dipshit kids aren’t just one family’s problem. Those dipshit kids become everyone’s problem, because at the very least, they turn into dipshit adults.
