It used to be that family took care of their own.

If Bobby got in trouble, dad used the belt to correct him: worked well enough.

If he had mental problems his family usually took care of him.

But now half or more young people live in single parent homes, usually mom, and that ain't good.

Drug abuse only makes it worse.

I see no solution, only a further slide into social dysfunction, absent fundamental changes in both the law and attitude.
