it starts with the parents but democrats in public office have made it increasingly hard to parent as they continue to take away tools parents can use.

I have a story about parenting.

When I was a cop in Mason county I dealt with a single upper middle class father and his teenage son for about 6 years. At first his son was a little [Bleeeeep!] 6th grader, disrespectful to nearly all adults, always in trouble at school. I got called a few times for issues of assault, minor drug use and vandalism.. Fathers response was always protective towards his son regardless of what his son had done, he and his son were buddies...

This continued off and on for years, when his son turned 16 dad bought him a brand new full size half ton Chevy truck, 2008 or 2009, kid was still a total [Bleeeeep!] head, by the time the kid was 17 he had dropped out of school , OD'd and heroin a couple times, attitude worse than ever, now he was treating his dad like [Bleeeeep!]. Dad was calling me to be his sons father, I went to the house a couple times and tried to tell the dad to kick the son out, take away the truck and cut him off. Dad said he could not do any of those things,,, within 4 months the kid was dead from a drug overdose..
