Some good points. I definitely support the death penalty - in open-and-closed cases. At young ages? I agree with Shag re: holding parents accountable. In Texas one of our lower courts the Justice of Peace. The get both city and county cases and most of the school stuff truancy, etc. We have 4 in our county - they're all good, and one of these is an absolute gem. I've seen him get up, walk around his bench and hug a mom who was in tears. Many folks leave his court wide-eyed from a ass ripping. They don't critisize - most know that he truly cares about the folks he hears. Recently he slapped a $1600 fine on a couple with a daughter who's been ditching classes (repeat offender). They have nearly nothing. Net income: $3800/month. $ spent on crack: $3600/month. Parents absolutely must be held accountable. If they can't figure it out, they need to be forced to seek assistance or give up the kids.
$3600 spent on dope is NO exaggeration
