He's the product of a fatherless culture where the concept of a father who goes to work every day and then comes home and raises /guides his child is as about as familiar as are the residents of Neptune, but the concept of the exciting male criminal is thrown at him by our culture 24-7,.And the kid sees it in action as soon as he steps out the door.
@mikezpenExactly!
Add to that is the fact his mother never saw him or her as anything but a welfare check that kept her in retirement,and by the time he or she is 18 they are more of a burden than an aid,so she probably hopes the 18 year old gets put in prison to take a load off her shoulders.
Unless it is a female child,that is. A professional welfare mother will have her pumping out babies by the time she is 14 to keep the checks rolling in.
We will NEVER clear up this welfare mess until the government starts mandating that every female of child bearing years on welfare MUST take birth control pills every day,or lose it all. No more 14 year olds having babies so they can have their own "partmints" when they turn 18 and get on Uncle Sugar's Gravy Train themselves.
Also,ANY woman with minor children that goes on welfare MUST be required to name each baby daddy so the govenrment can go after him for child care expenses. Yeah,a lot will be "mysterious stranger number 3" and probably more will be "prisoner number xxxxx" and not have an income,but some will have assets and jobs,and it is THEIR responsibility to provide for their children,not mine and yours. No plan is perfect,but we sure as hell need SOME sort of plan to collect child care payments from the fathers. Those children damn sure didn't show up on their own.
