I mean lock them OUT when you see a mob approaching.. NOT locking them in.

So, your personal experiences should influence how society handles these parents? What's your solution then?

That's not going to work in the real world. They coordinate via social media and all go in at once. The door would be held open.

His father, despite trying his best (and being ignored, at best) had absolutely no part of his life for ten years.

Is he an adult? Adults are different. Not much you can do about them, but I'm talking preventive measures so that they are not career criminals.

I'm referring to teens, and as far as not practical...why do I have to pay for someone else's child's stay at juvie? Let them pay for the damages and the stay in detention. Hit people in their pocketbook. You have a teen whose been caught in an act of burglary...you are going to pay his rent at the detention center. No smart phone. No nights out at the club or with the boys. No Direct TV or Internet. No trips to the outlet mall. If enough parents are also impacted by the behavior of their teens the way the rest of us are they might try to take that same time they spend getting their hair done or putting in extra hours at work and put in some quality time.

And...why should the kids suffer for the crime alone? I thought families were "all in it together"?

I'm sure someone will claim that they were Amish kids going after the pork rinds.

He was a loser from about age 12. He left to live with his mother (and threatened to accuse his father of molesting him if he fought it) around age 11. He was kicked out of school around age 14. Again: he lived with his mother, rarely saw his father...it would be exactly as logical as punishing YOU for what he did. That would make just as much sense.

Why was he a loser? Losers's don't come out of the box that way. You said loser since age 12. What happened at 12?
