I recently attended a homeschool conference and one of the speakers was giving statistics. Since the year 1950 the crime statistics have increased some 300%. Can you imagine!! His reason for all of it comes down to simple parenting. He said parents just don't parent their kids anymore. They don't tell them "no", and they don't discipline. If a child doesn't respect their own parents. they certainly will not respect a teacher, a boss, or the law. Makes sense to me. When I made this list above, I thought if every parent would instill values for their kids, just think of the outcome. Just My Opinion
