I was unruly as a teen, but I realized there would be consequences for my actions and would have walked away. I've been arrested many times for much less, cops were in the right if not lenient.
Actually you have it wrong about gentle parenting. There are rules, regulations and consequences during gentle parenting, plus these tens are too old to have been raised that way, since gentle parenting is a relatively new thing. These kids didn’t have any home schooling as we call it, and did what they did for attention.. any kind of attention some of whom seemed to regret their actions after the police got involved. But I bet they bragged about it to their friends at school or home though.🙄
@@angelasaunders3558 In NATURE, members of a familiar group that exhibit behavior that is dangerous to the whole, will be either culled or ostracized and left to expire! Humans are no different. Aberrant or destructive behavior is dangerous to the community.
These cops are a hell of a lot nicer than they were back when I was a disrespectful, awful teenager in the late 80s/early 90s. Back then, cops didn't hesitate to take you down immediately.
Yeah, they'd have given them a ride out to a country road and shown them back in the 60's. I worked with a retired cop from back then and he told me some crazy stories
The cops would have kicked my ass & I would have been taken home. Where I'd get an ass whipping from both of my parents. Love the 80's. None of this "Woke, PC" sh!t.
To be fair, Gen X had jobs and still did a lot of stupid stuff, but we usually ran away when the cops showed up! They weren't interested in *warning* us. If they showed up, SOMEONE was going to jail, at the very least. So we usually tried to get out of there first, then meet up somewhere else to cause mayhem.
In my area they be in cuffs if they refuse the order to leave. Entitles adults or teens I love to put that in check real fast, quick and in a hurry! This is warranted if anything this was soft policing they would tased for not cooperating
I got my first paycheck at 14 ( I lied about my age for 3 months lol) Of course I worked on farms and what not from age 10 to earn some extra money. There are still great kids out there, but unfortunately our education system is brainwashing them, not educating them.
They have idle hands & idle minds > no 'purpose', nothing to give them structure, guidance, positive life-learning experiences & rewards, nothing to aim for.
I 💯agree with you. The issue with the two brothers and sister seemed to be anger, then to crying and shaking while their friends seemed to think everything is funny. All of the teens have poor self control.
It starts with parenting. Many parents now will actually confront officers if they even look at their kids. I was brought up very different, and so were my 3 kids. If a cop would have ever gone to my parents with me or even a complaint I would have gotten the absolute snot beat out of me. Today, because people listened to psychologists etc kids are coddled and babied. This generation is a mess because of it. They have no respect for anyone, they do whatever they please whenever they please. Cops arrest kids and the crazy judges tell them to do better and let them go.
I cannot even imagine behaving like this in my wildest dreams. I feared my parents even more than God. Trinidadian parents DON'T PLAY. They were giving ample time to leave & chose not to do so. Actions have consequences.
I personally think a lot of it is people's inability to co-parent after separation or divorce. My husband and I have 50/50 custody of his kids and there was a time where his ex wife was more focused on turning the kids against us rather than working with us. They're teenagers now so it's better but they have been through bullshit they didn't deserve and it takes its toll.
Notice how they say “I didn’t do anything” or “you won’t even talk to me”. They imply that the cops should do as they want the cops to do and that no matter what they did, none of it was worth being arrested for. Again, telling the cops how to treat them. This is a trend in the US. It’s horrible.
People's reliance on social media to interact with each other as well as the parents not holding their kids accountable for their actions is why they are acting like this. It has nothing to do with the pandemic.
Same. I worked at A&W in a small town starting at 14 for 95¢ plus tips. I work babysitting for 75¢ an hour and cleaning my mom's friend's house for 25¢ an hour. I also held a paper route, raised dogs and sold the puppies, plenty of volunteering and after-school activities too.
For me it was at age 13 in 1990. As soon as my parents split up my Dad drove me down to the local convenience store (where he had worked out a job for me with the owner) and said, 'whelp, you're the man of the house now.' Because I was underage I had to get my school to sign off on it. And because they called that 'work experience' here in CA, they were legally allowed to pay me < minimum wage. I made $2.13 / hour. NGL it was the greatest time of my life up until that point LOL
The behavior of these teens was rather disgusting. Lack of respect, consideration & true entitlement. There is no reason whatsoever for these incidents to happen. And they are happening more and more. No matter where they occur. Just wrong altogether. Manner-less, rude & out of touch. It would not happen where I grew up...police, parents and our own minds would keep us in check.
They Should have put them all in jail, because they were loitering when they were asked to leave the store, they should’ve got up and left. nobody that has a business shouldn’t had to deal with that nonsense. They think that kind of behavior is being a man This shows you how ignorant these people are all of this about nothing trying to prove a nothing point
Them: “ I didn’t do nothing!” partially true. You didn’t leave you didn’t walk away you didn’t except their orders for what it was there’s a whole Lotta things you didn’t do and this is why you’re in that situation because you’re just should’ve walked away.
Hi Kabir, I started working when I was 14, there was a program called Youth Power which got us temporary jobs taking inventory or cleaning up job sites. They paid minimum wage, which in 1970 was $1.20 per hour. Of course things were cheaper then, like cigarettes went for .35¢ a pack and a six-pack or beer was $1.29 for the good stuff.
It's because parents aren't allowed to or don't want to parent properly anymore. My opinion os the cops were almost as soft as their parents obviously are.
Okay…. Yeah if we, when I was growing up, acted like that not only would we be arrested but so would our parents for beating our butts for being rude and disrespectful. It seems like this group of teens did this to get attention.. any kind of attention which means a deeper look into their family and neighborhood life.
Many reasons for this behavior shift from teacher: social media influence, socialize online not in person, few join clubs or social groups, parents don’t discipline nor demand respect, parents support child against teacher or police ( child can do no wrong) , media views and videos of treatment of police, teachers, others as …..
Cont: acceptable, schools fold to parent demands and don’t support teachers, don’t have consequences for students, lack of consequences at home and as above school, etc, videos of shoplifting and statement to not stop shoplifting or store destruction, no punishment for up to $ for shoplifting, no $ consequence for destruction at school or stores, etc……..
What's even more frustrating is when the kids doing this are actually doing these actions where they are working! And they thought the rest of the workers would think it so funny. Weren't laughing after the cops showed up
I work at a daycare. Watching this video makes me wonder about some of the kids at my job. It starts at 6 weeks until 12 years old. There are some of the kids who are in first and second grade who sort of already act like this. No respect for authority. Talking back when an adult is speaking to them. I do feel slightly bad for them. Because, their parents just drop them off at daycare or various family members throughout the week. So, they don't have to deal with them. Then they end up getting pregnant and having more kids and repeating the same cycle. I asked one of the little boys today when was the last time that he had been home and seen his mom and slept in his own bed. He told me that he hadn't been home since Halloween. His mom keeps shuffling him and his siblings to different family members homes. Just, so she doesn't have to deal with him and her 4 other school age kids. He's eight years old and has barely lived in his own house for the past 4 years. I do blame parents for this type of behavior. I also blame parents for sometimes not paying enough attention to their own kids. Having worked at a daycare. I see kids all the time who act out. Just so someone will finally pay attention to them and notice them. Which is incredibly sad.
At that age, I probably would have at the start think it was funny with friends. When authority was called, not funny. When my mom was called and showed up, I probably would have begged the cops to arrest me so I didn't have to go home with mom 😂😂
Good grief! My sons are so respectful to the police. They were good at not getting into trouble with the law. Oh the oldest did stupid things, but not like that! 🙄🤦 Taught them to give respect to get respect. ❤
Those cops were way “softer” than they had to be. It is especially hard when you have a bunch of minors acting up and you have to both protect them and get them out of the store.
As someone who's approaching 50, i never agreed with the "respect your elders" principal. Sure, your mother and father if THEY are respectable. People here in America expect you to respect ALL elders, whether you know them or not and whether they are deserving of respect or not. My parents were physically and mentally abusive and had and still have no respect for them. An elder talks down to me, insulting me, being abusive toward me or others and generally being entitled and I'm not putting up with that BS and I taught my son not to put up with it. Respect is a two-way street. That being said, being respectful of the people around you is always the best idea...until they show that they don't deserve that respect. These brats are disrespecting the people around them and themselves too and it's very sad to see. They got what they deserved. Maybe it'll be what's needed to smarten them up.
In the time the cops wasted dealing with these kids, they could've been investigating and arresting criminal millionaire and billionaire corporate executives who are the source of society's problems.
That is the result of no discipline at home . They are the product of the time out generation . They had no understanding of the consequences , of their actions till now .
They Should have put them all in jail, because they were loitering when they were asked to leave the store, they should’ve got up and left. nobody that has a business shouldn’t had to deal with that nonsense. They think that kind of behavior is being a man
It was absolutely the fault of the teens and their parents. If I had done something like that, not that my mom let me be out making a fool of myself like that, I would have been WAY more afraid of what she would have done to me than what the the police would do.
My friends and I ride our bikes around town get pizza go fishing play video games at the arcade and never have this happen to us. This is embarrassing.
Reaction warranted. These kids have gotten away with this kinda shit all their lives. They should ALL have been taken in for trespassing and disorderly conduct from the start. I don't blame COVID for this. I blame society. Parents or lack there of.
Tell the truth I'm surprised they all weren't arrested in the store. Even more surprized the first one wasn't in need of medical attention. I agree that they looked like they could use a job there are other things that they could also be doing. Personally I've seen club rugby help kids like this. Playing basketball in a league. Studying at the library. Hell, playing D&D can give them a place to interact with others to achieve something.
I technically started work at 12, from the UK myself. Granted it was voluntary at a barn where I was learning how to ride, the staff encouraged volunteering to learn more about care and management. I was all up in that and one of the staff lived nearby so gave me lifts to and from the barn, from 12 through to 16 I spend most of my weekends and school holidays on the yard. And let me tell you horses are hard graft. It's not a glamorous job at all, especially in winter.... but I got free riding in return and learned a lot about taking responsibility for myself and others. At 16, I had my first paid job in a local supermarket part time while I went to college. I don't know if there's a disconnect with the upcoming generations or what. I wonder if it's the availability of social media and easy access to the internet? On top of parents being crappy.
This is the results of no accountability and lax parenting, these kids are responsible but at the same time over the past 4 years you have witnessed the lack of action as police were defunded, stores were allowing stealing and these kids had no accountability or fear of arrest so this is the aftermath of an administration who could care less and these kids were collateral damage
This! I don’t agree with the blanket statement that it’s the parents fault. In many cases, like this one, there are layers of issues that contribute to this kind of behavior.
Part of this whole thing is their image to try to push their luck and be bad. They have that I’m gonna show you, I’m proving something attitude. That’s why they get up and move slowly and then when they’re finally arrested, they claim they were leaving. But they were leaving at their speed not like they were told to. just milking it for all they can until the cuffs go on and reality hits.
Kabir, this is what a lot of us have to put up with here in the US these days. The government has tied the hands of the police and made it much harder for the police to have a control and much easier for disrespectful and unparent teenagers to do what these are doing because they know that they're not going to get in any trouble they know that the police are restricted on what they can do and even if they do get them to jail the justice system will just turn them loose. So they know that there are no repercussions for them acting the way that they're acting and since they're teenagers they're going to push the boundaries as far as they can.
The problem with society began before COVID. You have to be in a pretty messed up society in order to focus on how you were not allowed to go out to dinner, hang out with friends, the outrageous burden of wearing a mask and getting a vaccine, was just too much to ask of us, don't care how many ppl die. We could have seen this as an opportunity to be a hero, put your comfort and social life on hold on for a while. The sooner we all comply, the sooner we are back to normal, but we didn't, we became the victims of *limited social interaction ". In America over 1M ppl died and the only thing people talk about is how their social life suffered. If you were a good person, but then someone came along and took away your date night and Spring Break, then you decided to be a bad person... your the problem, not COVID guidelines.
2 points I’ll make. 1) it’s most difficult to punish these days because of laws. Laws to protect the rights of the kids from being abused, but perhaps a bit overdone. 2) many of the jobs we [ I ] had as kids aren’t available anymore, and many that are, have been taken by adults. 📻😐
I was a teacher for 35 years. I do not, of course, condone this behaviour, but there were several missed opportunities to de-escalate this situation. It was very obvious that these were angry young men. This is not unusual, especially when in a group like this. Young men like this are out to push the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. Teachers have to deal with this on a daily basis and would not survive too long if they escalated the situation. Naturally, they do not always succeed. I agree that the first ones to blame are the parents. However, this is not always true. I have known families where one child is delightful and their sibling a demon. Sometimes, a child is just uncontrollable. In this case, though, brothers behaving the same is clearly lack of parental responsibility. Again, I agree that the young men (was one a girl or a younger teen?) are also at fault. However, at this age, this type of teenager is a powder keg of raging hormones. They will respond to perceived aggression with even higher levels of aggression. The is not acceptable, but it is true. It is also somewhat unavoidable. We have all been through puberty, and many of us may have memories of that period in our lives, which now embarrass us. There is another person that I blame. The first one to deal with them (a store employee, I think). Perhaps we did not see their first encounter with these teens, but what we do see is an adult screeching at the teens. They were themselves failing to control their anger. They were aggressive rather than calm. This is exactly the behaviour to trigger a response from teens with out of control hormones. The situation was confrontational from the start. I felt sorry for the police. They walked into a war zone. However, the first officer mishandled the situation. Influenced by the employee's behaviour, he immediately went into an aggressive attitude. Like teachers, the police are taught to defuse a situation like this. Instead, the officer exacerbated the teens' already hot tempers. The rest of the officers then came into a situation that was totally out of control. The teens were very stupid, but this does not exonerate parents, the employee, and the first police officer from their failures. Although many will not agree with me, I will say that although these teens are not uncommon, after all, puberty is a vile process to go through, the majority of young people are not like this. Most handle their "hormone bomb" better than this. These teens would benefit from a few weeks at boot camp.
parents just popping kids out and saying fend for for yourself. I'm a single mom of 2 daughters 14 and 7 and they have manners. Their parents need to be arrested for neglect, .......... sorry but kids need discipline sorry but it's the truth didn't see this yearsss ago when kids were getting disciplined. I'm a 86 baby and have alot of cousins.
I don't think it's as much whether or not they could be working as it is that parents often get shamed for having their teenagers get a job. Society today sees it as taking their childhood away from them. I agree with you, though. They wouldn't be causing all this trouble if they had a job. The legal age for working varies by the state and also by whether it's working for themselves or a regular job. There's a limit on how many hours per week they can work a regular job. Obviously, if they're working for themselves, there isn't a limit.
In this case the police were right and the kids should have listened. You can't always blame the parents. My parents taught me right, I did wrong on my own. We teach our children the right way sometimes they don't always listen. So don't be so ready to blame the parents.
It's the parenting. My mom would have grounded me until 2030 if I behaved like that. My kids know better than to disrespect people, too. I. Will. Take. You. Out. Those kids need Jesus and the principles that come with it.
I do not understand at all. This disrespect for any authority, even when it backfires on them. It makes no sense; i don't see what they get out of it. I think a lot of people have lost the ability to see the big picture or possible consequences to their behavior in the moment. Im pretty sure teachers are dealing with the same thing in schools.
The kids should have just got up and left out. I think the main ones that they had the most trouble with, were trying to save face and act all big and bad, that is what gets people in jail or in the ground. This doesn't make any sense. Those kids are old enough to know how this country is, especially when it comes to the justice system, they should have just got up and went home. One minute you are here walking around and smarting off workers and cops and the next minute you're gone out of this world. They will probably just get community service but, it could have been worse. I can say that those police did use more restraint that most other of their counterparts would have and I do applaud them for that.

All of the teenagers should have been arrested
This was a grocery store, not a hang out spot. Those kids should not even have been in there. Looks like they've never been told No in their lives.
Some people have never been told "no" in their lives, so they think they can do anything they want.
Those people are the 0.1%
I was unruly as a teen, but I realized there would be consequences for my actions and would have walked away. I've been arrested many times for much less, cops were in the right if not lenient.
Mothers babying their kids, especially the boys. Guess the fathers do this with their daughters.
Acts like a badass, once handcuffs come on he cries like a little baby.
The police acted properly. They gave them every chance to leave. If they had pampered them they would be dealing with them again in another place.
The way these kids talk to law enforcement is disgusting. Zero respect for authority. I suspect they'll have a lifetime of criminal activity.
Parents no longer want to parent. I’ve read that it’s called “soft parenting”.
That's because if they do they get in trouble for "child abuse"
Actually you have it wrong about gentle parenting. There are rules, regulations and consequences during gentle parenting, plus these tens are too old to have been raised that way, since gentle parenting is a relatively new thing.

Lack of punishment for previous offenses emboldens them. Then add social media and it’s a match made in hell.

Good grief! My sons are so respectful to the police. They were good at not getting into trouble with the law. Oh the oldest did stupid things, but not like that! 🙄🤦 Taught them to give respect to get respect. ❤
Those cops were way “softer” than they had to be. It is especially hard when you have a bunch of minors acting up and you have to both protect them and get them out of the store.
Good channel to react to. I've been subscribed for awhile 🤙
As someone who's approaching 50, i never agreed with the "respect your elders" principal. Sure, your mother and father if THEY are respectable. People here in America expect you to respect ALL elders, whether you know them or not and whether they are deserving of respect or not. My parents were physically and mentally abusive and had and still have no respect for them. An elder talks down to me, insulting me, being abusive toward me or others and generally being entitled and I'm not putting up with that BS and I taught my son not to put up with it. Respect is a two-way street. That being said, being respectful of the people around you is always the best idea...until they show that they don't deserve that respect. These brats are disrespecting the people around them and themselves too and it's very sad to see. They got what they deserved. Maybe it'll be what's needed to smarten them up.
In the time the cops wasted dealing with these kids, they could've been investigating and arresting criminal millionaire and billionaire corporate executives who are the source of society's problems.
Its the fact that, for years, you can get in trouble for just whooping their butts
That is the result of no discipline at home . They are the product of the time out generation . They had no understanding of the consequences , of their actions till now .
They Should have put them all in jail, because they were loitering when they were asked to leave the store, they should’ve got up and left. nobody that has a business shouldn’t had to deal with that nonsense. They think that kind of behavior is being a man
Cops definitely needed!
If they tried that in the UK, would they be coddled?
It was absolutely the fault of the teens and their parents. If I had done something like that, not that my mom let me be out making a fool of myself like that, I would have been WAY more afraid of what she would have done to me than what the the police would do.
Cops should have arrested them sooner.
Kabir, if those boys had parents like ours, that behavior would be unthinkable.
My friends and I ride our bikes around town get pizza go fishing play video games at the arcade and never have this happen to us. This is embarrassing.
I worked since I was 12. I had to buy my own clothes and entertainment. So when I was in a store, I was there to buy things, then leave.
Future prison material. These cops were WAAAY too lenient. Try this crap in Minneapolis and see what happens.
Needs more comeuppance
Reaction warranted. These kids have gotten away with this kinda shit all their lives. They should ALL have been taken in for trespassing and disorderly conduct from the start. I don't blame COVID for this. I blame society. Parents or lack there of.
Tell the truth I'm surprised they all weren't arrested in the store. Even more surprized the first one wasn't in need of medical attention.
I agree that they looked like they could use a job there are other things that they could also be doing. Personally I've seen club rugby help kids like this. Playing basketball in a league. Studying at the library.
Hell, playing D&D can give them a place to interact with others to achieve something.
I technically started work at 12, from the UK myself. Granted it was voluntary at a barn where I was learning how to ride, the staff encouraged volunteering to learn more about care and management. I was all up in that and one of the staff lived nearby so gave me lifts to and from the barn, from 12 through to 16 I spend most of my weekends and school holidays on the yard.
And let me tell you horses are hard graft. It's not a glamorous job at all, especially in winter.... but I got free riding in return and learned a lot about taking responsibility for myself and others. At 16, I had my first paid job in a local supermarket part time while I went to college.
I don't know if there's a disconnect with the upcoming generations or what. I wonder if it's the availability of social media and easy access to the internet? On top of parents being crappy.
This is the results of no accountability and lax parenting, these kids are responsible but at the same time over the past 4 years you have witnessed the lack of action as police were defunded, stores were allowing stealing and these kids had no accountability or fear of arrest so this is the aftermath of an administration who could care less and these kids were collateral damage
This! I don’t agree with the blanket statement that it’s the parents fault. In many cases, like this one, there are layers of issues that contribute to this kind of behavior.
The president doesn't respect the laws. Why should these kids? 🇨🇦
Part of this whole thing is their image to try to push their luck and be bad. They have that I’m gonna show you, I’m proving something attitude. That’s why they get up and move slowly and then when they’re finally arrested, they claim they were leaving. But they were leaving at their speed not like they were told to. just milking it for all they can until the cuffs go on and reality hits.
The funny thing is that if they had cooperated they would have been released from the jail in very short time
Kabir, this is what a lot of us have to put up with here in the US these days. The government has tied the hands of the police and made it much harder for the police to have a control and much easier for disrespectful and unparent teenagers to do what these are doing because they know that they're not going to get in any trouble they know that the police are restricted on what they can do and even if they do get them to jail the justice system will just turn them loose. So they know that there are no repercussions for them acting the way that they're acting and since they're teenagers they're going to push the boundaries as far as they can.
The cops were too lenient.
The problem with society began before COVID. You have to be in a pretty messed up society in order to focus on how you were not allowed to go out to dinner, hang out with friends, the outrageous burden of wearing a mask and getting a vaccine, was just too much to ask of us, don't care how many ppl die. We could have seen this as an opportunity to be a hero, put your comfort and social life on hold on for a while. The sooner we all comply, the sooner we are back to normal, but we didn't, we became the victims of *limited social interaction ". In America over 1M ppl died and the only thing people talk about is how their social life suffered. If you were a good person, but then someone came along and took away your date night and Spring Break, then you decided to be a bad person... your the problem, not COVID guidelines.
2 points I’ll make.
1) it’s most difficult to punish these days because of laws. Laws to protect the rights of the kids from being abused, but perhaps a bit overdone.
2) many of the jobs we [ I ] had as kids aren’t available anymore, and many that are, have been taken by adults.

I was a teacher for 35 years. I do not, of course, condone this behaviour, but there were several missed opportunities to de-escalate this situation. It was very obvious that these were angry young men. This is not unusual, especially when in a group like this. Young men like this are out to push the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. Teachers have to deal with this on a daily basis and would not survive too long if they escalated the situation. Naturally, they do not always succeed.
I agree that the first ones to blame are the parents. However, this is not always true. I have known families where one child is delightful and their sibling a demon. Sometimes, a child is just uncontrollable. In this case, though, brothers behaving the same is clearly lack of parental responsibility.
Again, I agree that the young men (was one a girl or a younger teen?) are also at fault. However, at this age, this type of teenager is a powder keg of raging hormones. They will respond to perceived aggression with even higher levels of aggression. The is not acceptable, but it is true. It is also somewhat unavoidable. We have all been through puberty, and many of us may have memories of that period in our lives, which now embarrass us.
There is another person that I blame. The first one to deal with them (a store employee, I think). Perhaps we did not see their first encounter with these teens, but what we do see is an adult screeching at the teens. They were themselves failing to control their anger. They were aggressive rather than calm. This is exactly the behaviour to trigger a response from teens with out of control hormones. The situation was confrontational from the start.
I felt sorry for the police. They walked into a war zone. However, the first officer mishandled the situation. Influenced by the employee's behaviour, he immediately went into an aggressive attitude. Like teachers, the police are taught to defuse a situation like this. Instead, the officer exacerbated the teens' already hot tempers. The rest of the officers then came into a situation that was totally out of control.
The teens were very stupid, but this does not exonerate parents, the employee, and the first police officer from their failures. Although many will not agree with me, I will say that although these teens are not uncommon, after all, puberty is a vile process to go through, the majority of young people are not like this. Most handle their "hormone bomb" better than this. These teens would benefit from a few weeks at boot camp.
The product of *BAD* parenting! Just think, they will be parents one day themselves, imagine what their kids will be like! 😖😮💨
That's Savannah GA for you
There could have been so many more charges.
11:22 in the 80s and 90s this is when a cop would have pulled a gun or pepper spray if he's nice
The kids are completely wrong. There is too much attitude and disrespect and this perception that no rules, courtesy or commands pertain to them.
I blame the parents of all those kids.
You'll rarely have to discipline your children if you raise them right.g
I th8nk the police need a lot more $$$ on their paychecks too.
If you're under 18 in the US, there are very few jobs you can get or get hired to do legally, Kabir.
Appropriate. They’re being obnoxious and wasting the cops’ time, as well as causing unnecessary issues for the employees and patrons.
Rebels without a cause.
They were ignorant for no reason
I started working at 15. They can definitely be working by 16.
parents just popping kids out and saying fend for for yourself. I'm a single mom of 2 daughters 14 and 7 and they have manners. Their parents need to be arrested for neglect, .......... sorry but kids need discipline sorry but it's the truth didn't see this yearsss ago when kids were getting disciplined. I'm a 86 baby and have alot of cousins.
At this age, they might be in a gang already and even more dangerous.
I don't think it's as much whether or not they could be working as it is that parents often get shamed for having their teenagers get a job. Society today sees it as taking their childhood away from them. I agree with you, though. They wouldn't be causing all this trouble if they had a job.
The legal age for working varies by the state and also by whether it's working for themselves or a regular job. There's a limit on how many hours per week they can work a regular job. Obviously, if they're working for themselves, there isn't a limit.
In this case the police were right and the kids should have listened. You can't always blame the parents. My parents taught me right, I did wrong on my own. We teach our children the right way sometimes they don't always listen. So don't be so ready to blame the parents.
The kids are punks. If it was me I would have arrested everyone
It's the parenting. My mom would have grounded me until 2030 if I behaved like that. My kids know better than to disrespect people, too. I. Will. Take. You. Out. Those kids need Jesus and the principles that come with it.
I do not understand at all. This disrespect for any authority, even when it backfires on them. It makes no sense; i don't see what they get out of it. I think a lot of people have lost the ability to see the big picture or possible consequences to their behavior in the moment. Im pretty sure teachers are dealing with the same thing in schools.
This is called entitleditis
They should have ALL been put in cuffs
Future jail birds without a doubt and most probably from single Mum families
This is poor parenting pure and simply
The kids should have just got up and left out. I think the main ones that they had the most trouble with, were trying to save face and act all big and bad, that is what gets people in jail or in the ground. This doesn't make any sense. Those kids are old enough to know how this country is, especially when it comes to the justice system, they should have just got up and went home. One minute you are here walking around and smarting off workers and cops and the next minute you're gone out of this world. They will probably just get community service but, it could have been worse. I can say that those police did use more restraint that most other of their counterparts would have and I do applaud them for that.
Parents leave raising children to the police.
and teachers.
Wonder when the fresh meat get behind bars , meet Bubba :)
