I know personally I would have no problem standing in the middle of that shit should I see see it.
sometimes the way to a kid is through personal intervention, but when you look around you see people just sitting on their asses to absorbed with their own bullshit to be concerned with what is staring them in the face.
It's a societal break down, it's reverse evolution, it's a fucked up world.
I long for the days when a neighbor would whip my ass and send me home to another whipping because he called my dad and that shit just wasn't cool it was necessisary to a civilized society, but our liberal government has taken all that away and now the kids pay the price.
Dick, do you think that a kind of REQUIRED Parenting 101 course highlighting the common mistakes and repercussions of non-diligent parenting would make an impact? Imo, it might help prevent crimes against chidren, the ultimate goal.
If the concept holds any merit, these courses, imo, would need to be hosted by compassionate but no bullshit LE officers, those who have seen the causes and effects of crimes against children first-hand. No pop-psych "touch me softly" bullshit. Not necessarily a fear tactic, but an honest, "this could happen to you" worst case scenario presentation by professionals who have lived the heartbreak.
What do you think? Would LE possibly support the minimal up-front cost to help prevent crimes against children? It could be done in the hospital before the mother and child head home. It could be presented almost as a party for the concerned "family team". Those who would be expected to care for the child (to any degree) and didn't agree to attend the quick course could be really made to feel like dog doo and hopefully talked into it (like LE has a way of doing). Of course, it couldn't be mandated, but just offering it and taking it to the recipients might go a long way. A quick power point and some cup cakes, with a message that resonates.
A possibility?
