They Don’t Raise Them, But They Bury Them
Two 16 year old boys’ bodies were found along I-5 in Seattle. Shot to death, they were discarded as trash beside a busy interstate.
We’ve danced around the fact that custodial caretakers aren’t monitoring their children. Teenagers are on the streets driving stolen Kias and sometimes committing heinous crimes with stolen guns. A few days ago, a 17 year old girl was shot to death in front of the apartment complex around the block from my residence. A law enforcement officer requested home detention after two of her teenage sons were arrested driving a stolen Kia and committing several crimes. An 18 year old boy who had totaled three cars in 11 months killed a mother and three children with two other children in the ICU. He was driving 112 mph in a 40 mph zone and smashed into their vehicle.
It’s ridiculous that we as citizens are endlessly put at risk simply by the fact that “adults” aren’t in touch with what the children are doing. Or don’t care?
So, what’s happening to our children? The parents, guardians, and school districts have done a major disservice to these children by allowing them to run wild in the streets. These children are delinquent from school: the school knows it and the parents know it, but no one is intervening on their behalf
Thanks to our lacking judicial system, the “Kia Boyz” have been released and are at high risk of committing more crimes. How much you want to bet they’re not in school?
How can we end this epidemic? Along with the children, the custodial guardians need to be held accountable for the crimes their children commit! Together with tougher sentencing for the youths, parents should be charged with child neglect and be fined and/or jailed for their severe lack of disciplining and monitoring their children. Schools should be more proactive with the delinquency of these children from class. However, we need more hands on deck to raise these children properly. It’s never a good sign when society has to take over parenting.
To me, it’s disgusting that the mothers of the two 16 year olds thrown onto I-5 have the nerve to have GoFundMe pages for funeral services. If this much effort was put into raising them, they’d probably not be dead today!
Parents turn their backs.
Parents bury them.
