Lot of parents don’t take into their own accountability of being a “normal human” let alone their children.
Case in point the Jennifer Crumbley case in Michigan about her son’s shooting spree at a school.
Ignorance and lack of education without discipline and structure equate to longstanding issues with much of what a persons adventure through life ends up being for their “environment”. All compounding throughout generational decline.
Agreed, I think 90% of what we see is generations passing on their own disfunction. Makes it a very, very difficult problem to solve at the societal level. Individuals have to make it happen in their own lives with the support of society. Experts argue about the abuse of these supports but I'd rather give kids a chance and lose some money to systemic abuse and misuse then take it away and see everyone worse off. Hard problem with no easy answers.
