Amen, If there were more parents out there stepping up to their responsibilities this world wouldn't have all this hate & crime!!! Most these kids get into trouble because they are just looking for attention, acceptance & their parents LOVE!! " TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOU ACTIONS & MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!"
