concerns about the state of our teenage resident. investigations by the team has released a list of offenses of the shooter. the latest incident came after he cut off the home detention anklet he was supposed to wear and a 5-year-old girl became the latest victim. the police chief lamented the lack of parental discipline in the lives of these teenagers who have rain the violence down on the city. state attorneys have commented that the state has an archaic system operating under the impression that everyone under 18 can be rehabilitated who are repeatedly committing crimes. there should be accountability and punishment. we agree with these sentiments. we must demand more of our judges and the juvenile justice system. the state system needs review and updates.

in addition, parents, grandparents, and extended family need to make a commitment to improving the lives of our city's youth. community centers are not enough. they need discipline and goal from the home. habitual offenders need to be held more accountable. the system and the family need to do more and ensure that our youth are on the right course rather than a path of violence.
