I respect the value of families and do think they can help guide kids onto a better path.
But consider this... Are convicted criminals abandoned by their families? Do they have no one who
loves them, visits them, waits for them to get out? No. Really the majority of them still have
families - people who preferred they weren't in jail.
Do nice well adjust people have kids who turn out to be criminals? Absolutely. Sometimes it's the
son of a beloved preacher, a popular school teacher, a doctor or cop. Yet despite love, positive
reinforcement, even intervention - their kid may still turn out to be a criminal.
And let's not forget some people are hardwired in the brain to be a certain way. A paranoid
schizophrenic, a sociopath, a homosexual in a country that bans it (like Iran), they all have a
framework in their mind which will not be changed simply by guidance of family.
So, yeah, I value what families can do. They should do a lot more. They really can help. But I
can't say "Familial-bonding is a cure for criminal behaviors." Sorry. Now I'm going to go get
myself a hug - before I give in to those voices in my head (joking). |
