Sadly there are many kids these days to whom being part of any group no matter how bad is better then being alone and good.

I know this isn't a simple equation and I'm certainly not claiming that every child thug is entirely the result of defective parents. However, parental example/influence is the biggest factor in a child's early development and when it's lacking or, worse still, negative it's not surprising that those affected get into trouble. It's not about parents telling their kids it's OK to be a thug, it's more about kids who have had no positive guidance from their parents at all and been so emotionally neglected that they don't have the sensibilities and moral benchmarks that most of us take for granted.
