<p>There are so many different things going on that contribute to this situation that addressing one of them does little to prevent the situation of continuing–Family dynamics, lack of supervision, little regard for consequences, no discipline, failure to take personal responsibility, few positive direct role models in their lives, no standards set by parents, repeating of the same patterns of multiple births by different fathers, welfare, lack of self-worth, no direction or ambition or drive to do better than the previous generation, etc.</p>
<p>There is plenty of blame to go around regarding this issue. Unfortunately, most of these families seem to place more of the blame on others while failing to accept their own personal responsibility in getting themselves in this situation. They would rather blame the school system, blame their peers or blame the government rather than accept the notion that they and their family unit have failed to teach, model, and live by certain core set of values and goals. Change will come when families begin to act like families rather than act like completely random strangers living under one roof.</p>
