Farmboy, Yep - many have children and then leave it to the schools to raise them. If they aren't going to take time to raise their kids, why even have any?.
I agree with your statement as far as it goes. Have you ever taught 6,7,9th graders when their hormones kick in. The sex drive of young individuals, young and older adults are very strong especially as they come into puberty. Many individuals according to a social workers working with unwed mothers indicated to me, "many have children to receive what was once called ADC for five years per each child. Then, the mother gives up their right to the children." The courts, according to a Missouri local attorney, are reluctant to take away the children from the family and then the judge awards the children to the grandmother of the children who can receive foster care money until the child is 18. I ask the social worker why this occurs? Her reply was that these mothers consider that as "their inheritance."
My question is how could a society or government stop this process from continuing in the future? If the children do not get the appropriate skill through education or trade, what opportunity do they have in a global and Information Technology World? Is there any rationale why they will not do anything to survive in fulfillment of their physical needs even to the point of committing felonies, and be sent to prison to received their basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, recreation, and medical coverage, plus cable TV and socialization with others.
I would like to hear from the naysayer possible solution to these holistic problems we have within an ever changing, fast moving society.
Kenneth, from his career could reflect on the able since he has experience in dealing with the courts. |
