What is wrong with people?
People are killing their children. The are molesting the children of others, and even their own children. Courts are giving children to incompetent parents, and those parents are killing the children. Non custodial parents are taking their children for whatever reason, and they are put on police blotters and warrants are being written for them.
I work with the Educational industry, and I see kids every day and hear stories every day, and then I turn on my computer and see the stories of these kinds of abuses that are happening all over the world. Women are being abused, and the children are seeing it and they are probably going to repeat these things in their own lives.
Teachers are getting in on the act; they are not screened before they get their credentials; this is what I was told fourteen years ago when I went for mine. However, it was not until the past few years that they have been having molestation charges levied against them, or having affairs with their students, and their husbands shooting their students, etc. Are the schools too busy to screen credential applicants? Or are the methods getting too lax?
I think the United States should revise their entire system of dealing with crime and education; to the point where community colleges have to re think their methods of educating people; to the point where universities have to do the same. Also in the matter of police situations, let the crimes be dealt with fairly, and not give them a quota of tickets to write, so that they focus their attention on real things to deal with instead of meeting a quota. There has got to be an authority that is worth calling when something happens.
