Yeah I have a lot of ideas, most of them I cant share. Here's a thought, let the punishment fit the crime. And yes build more rooms inside the barbed wire....tent city. Boot camp for "under age" in tent city. They should be punished first for their crime (total time sentenced) then rehabilitation. The sentence should be served before any rehabilitation begins.

We need to start enforcing the laws we have, and I don't care if the jail is over crowded.....It IS jail - PUNISHMENT - and there is a reason they're there...

Already, one of Eva Carson's killers is off the potential "Death Row" sentence...because of his YOUNG age...He was old enough to assault her, steal her cash, & vehicle, and kill the woman for absolutely no reason...I don't have the slightest bit of sympathy for either of the little SOBs, and I hope he's raped every hour, on the hour, for the next 25 years that we'll all be paying for his miserable existence in prison, all the while breathing air that my dog could use....

That could have just as easily been your daughter, or mine, killed indiscrimanently, for no other reason than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.....because those 2 fools were broke, and needed a ride -

As I was out doing yet another story of a teen crime today, one man told me he believes stricter discipline in school is what is needed - and at home. (I don't know about ya'll, but my dad did NOT spare the rod!!!)
Another man told me it was when corporal punishment was removed from public schools that things began to go bad. And yet another says it was when God was taken out of schools. Any thoughts on this?

Yeah, I got humiliation as well as humuliation.

Sorry about that. I docked myself 3000 Viking Points for my faux pas.

One more thought...removing God and the basic fundamentals of being a good and honest person is the worst thing they could have ever done. How can you expect the morals of our society to survive when you are not reminded daily that God is watching and loves you, regardless of how much money you have or what shoes you wear. God is the foundation that our great country was built on. Values. Morals. Love. Too many people seem to forget that. You may have your right to believe what you want, but we have the right to do the same. If you don't like hearing about God, ignore it. If you don't like seeing God's words, ignore them. If you don't like that America was founded on a belief in God, then find somewhere else to live. Do you think if you moved to another country they would remove their religious beliefs from every structure they were posted on, just because you believed something different? I think not. I am sure they would remove you before they would remove the religious materials.

I agree that the removal of God and punishment are part of the problem. It really does begin at home though. As someone else said, the parent stands up for the child even when the child is wrong. When I was growing up, my parents did not spare the rod. If I got in trouble at school, I got in more trouble when I got home. I feel I am a better person because of it. I agree with Just-Me-07, that rehab doesn't do any good if the person doesn't want to change.

I agree with everyone here. If you do a crime like ALOT of thses young people are commiting then they need to do the time just like any adult would have to. If they think they are old enough to not be in school and getting an education, then LET THEM PULL THE TIME, no matter what age they are. They knew what they was doing when they pulled the trigger or jumped on this helpless amd and beat him. Like one blogger said, PUT THEM IN THE POPULATION and let them see just how tough they really are. My parents displinied myself and my brother and I thank them every day for it. I dont hold no hard feelings or nothing like that, to be quiet honest, we need it......lol...we fought like cats and dogs. One other thing while on the topic of kids and schooling. Whats up with those T.O.T.T. papers? That in my opion is the BIGGEST waste of papers the schools ever come up with. If that was all that I got when I was in school for getting up out my seat ALL the time, talking back to teachers, being disrespectful and everything else they send them papers home for then LOTS of kids that went to school during my years in school would be where ALOT of these kids are now. BRING BACK CORPORAL PUNISHMENT FOR SCHOOLS. By the way DeadLineDiva.... Going to Matinsville in the morning, got any Pit Passes you wanna share. *hugs to you and Chocolate* :)

First of all, where are the parents and just exactly how are they raising their children? Don't they know, or do they even care about what those kids are doing. There is no accountability. Its always someone elses fault that they turned out that way. There are zillions of kids who have a rough life, are living in proverty, but they don't go around beating, robbing or killing just for a few dollars.
They get a slap on the wrist, juvenile until 18 or 21 and back out they come to terrorize again.
If caught doing a crime, first they should be made by the courts to attend a year round school, and if even 1 hour late, off to jail they go.The punishment should fit the crime. Parents should be more responsible. They should know where your kids are, what they are doing and who they are hanging out with. Don't they think something is wrong when the kid comes home with a was of money or expensive shoes they know they didn't buy? If one of mine did that I would have demanded an explanation, and marched their behinds down to the police if they didn't have a good answer When one of my kids got in trouble, thank God they did nothing serious, they were grounded from phone, tv, radio, etc. I had the cleanest house in the neighborhood, the best looking lawn and I am sure they cut and stacked enough wood to keep our home warm for years.

Axe, the problem is, the parents aren't taking the responsibility to discipline their children. And if you are truly a parent and a responsible one, then you know that there comes a time when that child should be spanked. And I do know the difference between spanking and abuse. Like you, I don't like the idea of someone else spanking my child but I believe that if there was more spankings and children being held accountable for their actions, we would not have the problems we have today. As for you spanking my child, if you were teaching my child and he was disruptive in your class, if I couldn't correct it, then your spanking him would probably save you and me problems in the future. The thing is, if a child knows that he can be spanked, then he will think twice about his actions before he acts out. If he knows that there will be no consequences to his actions, either at school or home, there is no reason for him to act respectful.

J. Edgar Hoover once said " The solution to America's crime problem lies not in the electric chair, but the high chair." Parents, it's up to you, handle your kids before the police have to.
