Its not just about values. Everywhere these kids turn its a mess.......their parents, the projects, the neighborhoods and the schools. There is nothing for them to hang onto except gangs. The only way you stop it is to pick one of those venues and pour a ton of money into it. The cheapest way would be the schools........makes the schools as good as those in any affluent suburb and then make the parents sign a contract, the violation of which would have consequences. Your heart is in the right place IMHO , but I think a lot of what you say has to come after we put in place policies that break up the incentive to marry a welfare check instead of a husband. Once woman have to get married in order to successfully raise thier kids it will encourage more family stability and elevate the status of working class men and give them a 'role' in society. This won't solve all problems, but it would be a start.
