Basically Ghetto's = crime One thing I suspect but can't prove is that when the mother works outside the home that's problematic, even in intact families. Here in Fairfax, VA, one of the richest suburbs in the country, there is a high percentage of two-earner families, and some surprising cases of kids gone wrong in families where you would not expect it. Latch-key kids may not be at risk, per se, maybe it's just the kids that are around them that they hang out with. My kids were in GT (Gifted and Talented) from the second grade -- very few GT kids get in trouble, but we knew a couple, both from "broken homes." Kids need a lot of support, from the family, from the neighborhood, from the education system, even from work. (I learned a lot of good skills, people skills, discipline, integrity, from my first jobs.) Any gap in the support system makes it harder to grow up right.
