OUTRAGED...
So as most of you know I work at a Behavioral Hospital, well we have a child's unit that i work on. I have just become so disgusted by the amount of kids who have come through here who just need some parental guidance or dicipline. We have several kids whose parents treat the hospital as if it is a daycare. What has the world come to where we Baker Act, or Voluntarily put a minor in a psychiatric hospital because we are too busy to deal with them ourselves. I know that the government is pushing this issue of building marriages and strong families. I think we should focus on good parenting. Like the other day a kid shot eight people in Omaha where were his parents. Or the kindergartner who gave a bomb threat to the school. Or how about for the first time in 15 years the teen pregnancy rate has increased. It seems like we should focus on our nations youth since they are our tomorrow. No one will be getting married and building strong families if our parents can't help their children. I strongly believe that their should be stronger policies in place for good parenting/rearing of children.

Preach! I feel you blogger, but this is just yet another wake up call that government continues to ignore, how many columbines or Virginia Tech murders do we need to occure before we look ourselfs in the mirror? We was a country are quick to go fight for the name of democracy on foreign land but wont fight to strengthen our families at home, Lord knows it wont cost as much!
I completely agree with your blog too. I work in an afterschool program and everyday I am amazed by the lack of discipline I see in the actions of kids. There was a fight a couple of weeks ago at our school, and when we informed the mother of what happened, she rolled her eyes and said "oh well, one day he'll mess with the wrong person". To hear this, and see no action taken, it makes me wonder if this kid goes home and is even fed or bathed by his parents. Parenting has gone out the window in so many cases.
