I'd take them down to the shelter and leave them and feel like an executioner. It's cruelty on the installment plan. And so, for fear the kids will suffer, we end up subsidizing teenage girls to have even more babies. This is an insane policy that can only head to chaos, crime, graffiti, demoralization, decay and, sometime down the road, the eventual collapse of civilized society. You can't let kids raise themselves on the streets, carry guns, shoot people for crime of wearing the wrong color sneakers and think with a midnight basketball game or two that you will still end up with responsible caring adults.
Teenage boys are loose cannons.
Their hormones are running amok. They need firm guidance and clear structure. If there's no father around to take them in hand and induct them into mature male society they end up on the street, in gangs, hating themselves, hating each other and most of all hating us. It's a dead-end thankless and nearly always futile proposition to try and turn around a hardened gang member. Well, not much.
