I believe the nuclear family is being grossly undervalued. Whether mom, dad or both parents work, people have to realize that only one can yield the "best option to maximize best results" which studies show is stability and hands-on guidance which comes from a parent's love, not a paycheque. Why do people need a license to drive or own a gun but not to parent. The parents or guardians of any child who have broken the law twice should have to attend a course on parenting techniques learn options for enforcement and punishment. They could receive help phone numbers and support, and would get the opportunity to meet the parents of the co-charged kids. Delinquent kids value their friends the most, so restrict their association after two offenses. When kids go out in a group to assault someone its called a raise. It's a new trend. If you are involved in an assault, and the assailants outnumber the victim there should be a separate law. Raise the assault sentence. Society progressed over the years with parents respecting the rights of children however there is always a bounce back effect with change, and things can go too far the other way. There is a generation gap here where adults need to become skilled at providing adequate boundaries and responsibilities and accountability to kids without losing the power because the adults in general have none. We are so concerned with tolerance and perhaps contributing to the continued delinquency of minors that there are no consequence left. We now offer 13 or 14 second chances. Some kids have 15-20 charges and there still on the street. Someone who has been breaking the law for years has not benefited from name protection obviously, so do the opposite after the second offense. Use it as a mechanism to rehabilitate him/her and threaten to publish the names. The legal system should be embarrassed at themselves and people should sue for allowing repeat offenders back out. A great start would be the teacher MacCavoy (I think) that was killed last year. I WOULD TRY TO SUE JUST FOR THE PUBLICITY. Great show Andrew. Hi Andrew. I believe the nuclear family is being grossly undervalued. Whether mom, dad or both parents work, people have to realize that only one can yield the “best option to maximize best results” which studies show is stability and hands-on guidance which comes from a parent’s love, not a paycheque. Why do people need a license to drive or own a gun but not to parent. The parents or guardians of any child who have broken the law twice should have to attend a course on parenting techniques learn options for enforcement and punishment.

My wife and I are now defying the odds, we are married with two kids. It is not easy though as it has become so much more difficult to balance our financial books. Our income is well above the national middle baseline but yet we have a hard time paying the bills, I honestly do not know how someone in the supposed middle class actually gets by. I have to wonder how much more affordable my life would be without the cell phones, computer, cable etc. Well said, I have watched as my family income increases but yet the standard of our lives continues to decrease.
