Thinking About Our Kids

I have been reading a book called, "Superpredators: The Demonization of Our Children by the Law". The book is drawing some analogies between:

• the increase of violent crimes committed by teens




• reports of increasing child abuse and neglect




• the increase of teen suicides




• the increased feeling of despair by teens

All of these facts cause the author to raise the question, "What is going on in our society to cause our children to become so discouraged?"
