There is just no way according to here that they can be respectable, Godly, hard working Americans that earn what is theirs even at a young age. Guess this means they will automatically be a "swiper" some day ...
Its not the Kids ! ...
Its the darn parents who blame everyone but their own self for their kids not being good people. If parents would be more of a part of their kids lives and actually raise them. Show them right from wrong. Teach them pride, dignity, work ethics, respect, and for every action you do in life there is a reaction so think before you do. Don't always spoil them and teach them that not everything in life is free you have to earn it !
We (America) wouldn't be in this situation with all the "swipers" if there were TRUE parent out there raising their kids ...
We as parents need to look in the mirror before blaming the kids.

I think we should hold parents responsible for their Kids actions. If a kid [say 16 years or younger] gets in trouble, the kid and the parents should receive some kind of punishment or finds. And by "finds" I think the fine should be 5 or 10 times what any damage may have been caused.
IMO.... if you start holding the parents responsible for "actions" of their kids, we might starts seeing a change.... for the better.
Also....IMO..... spanking a kid is not always a bad thing.
Another pet peeve of mine is how adults often use the work "OK" after they tell something to another person. When instructions of some kind are given, particularly to a child, you should NEVER add the word OK. By doing this, you are giving them the option to say NO.
Instead, of "OK"... say, do you understand.
