Sad stuff.
It's a lack of parents/parenting. I have 2 in training roaming my neighborhood right now. Mom brings a "boyfriend" home...or possible a few a day and the kids are sent out to get lost. They roam my neighborhood all day on skateboards and on foot. It's sad how these two boys (probably 7 and 10 years old...or about there) already act like little gangster thugs. They ride down the middle of the road in front of your car and just stare you down, been just walking up people's driveways to peer into garages. I know it doesn't sound all that bad, but you gotta see the kids. It's in their eyes...it like there is already no soul left in these children.
