There has to be something done with the situation, parents need to be punished for not taking responsibility.
Is the situation worse because parents are not as responsible these days as they were years ago? My parents were both under 17 when I was born in the late 60's, I suppose they could be described as irresponsible to a degree, but I was always kept under control and would be shown the error of my ways if I did not comply.
I remember fondly being chased around the house by my Nan with the "Washing machine Boiler Stick" to avoid a good beating, a beating wasn't for her perverted pleasure it was used to stop me from growing up to commit crime like other kids etc.
I guess thats where the views were different, if you didn't behave you would grow up to be a criminal. These days they dont wait to grow up to be a criminal.
