Race has nothing to do with it, nor does the marital status of the parents.
I have had trouble with teens in my street, they are white, most are from good families. These kids are bored, theres nothing for them to do, they want to hang out, meet girlfriends/boyfriends be normal kids. The only place they can do that it out on the street. I hate them yelling and screaming waking up my kids, I usually ask them to keep it down or move away.They are out in all weathers and till late.Thats the norm now.
They leave school and unless they achieve very high grades, they can't get into uni.Theres no such thing as an apprentice these days.So they are left to their own devices with nothing much to work towards.
These kids are are our next generation, its easy to blame their upbringing, and to get angry at them for being in our way.They need to learn respect for the police again and the law, but where are the beat bobbies?Need to learn respect for adults, the same ones who complain if they ride their bikes on a pavement by a main road?
Theres an area of rough land down the road from me where these kids hang out,its a tip down there, these kids put a few chairs in there, they are away from the houses, but the council move the chairs.Its probably council owned land so if the kids did clear it up and make something of it, I'm sure the council would go berserk in its usual petty way. Regulations and rules of the wrong kind are to blame.
No youth club unless people are risk assessed, buildings are risk assessed etc etc.
Its not just a parent problem its a communities problem.
