[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 310433, member: 1514"] I watch HLN faithfully and some of the stories just amaze me. There is another story that broke today about 4 boys from NH who just got together and decided to kill and rob someone. Boy scouts and a Mormon something or other. They killed the mom and almost killed the 11 year old dtr. Stole some stuff. One boy was bipolar. One got bored with boy scouts. Everyone is up in arms over what to do...what to do. And I cant get through on the cell phone...I can tell them...lmao. Everyone is worried about what to do about rehabbing them after they have committed a crime, can they do something about Department of Juvenile Justice so it works better, can we do better therapy in schools, blah blah blah. Or should we worry more about substance abuse and addiction? Should we deal with only addiction and listen to how serious a disease addiction is. Oh BS. If we strengthened the mental health systems, and made access much easier to everyone no matter income, we would see a true drop in juvenile crime which would in turn cause a drop in adult crime rates. Education problems would become easier to deal with because mental health would deal with the mental health portion instead of forcing it off onto the school system. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
