Where are the parents? Both are at work trying to keep a roof over their heads.
Of course there's more single Moms these days too.
Society is to blame for it.
Violence is everywhere in the media..try to watch your nightly News on TV without shaking your head in sorrow..
These kids need "creative guidance" with sports,music,art,etc..but it costs time & money.
Outcast kids usually seek others of the same for friendship & protection. Thus, gang mentality creeps in..usually with one or two Disturbed kids that become leaders of the pack.
Until Society steps up, this stuff will just keep spreading........
