Hi AC,

"But maybe there's a need for an official handbook on parenting
- And an official guide for kids."

That sounds very Comrade Stalin stuff. And for those who are deemed as not to be following the "official guide"? What punitive action does one have instore for them. Should there be a chapter on venerating the supreme leader included? Some politicians would think that's very important.

Hi Paul,
Well, I don't mean to come across like a dictator.
I just feel as though if parents just knew this one simple rule
- Then there wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of screwed up kids there are.

The rule is this and I said it once already

'It's a parents responsibility to ensure their kids physical and emotional wellbeing.
This is NOT NEGOTIABLE.
If you fail to ensure their physical and emotional wellbeing, by default - YOU FAIL YOUR KIDS.'

I'm not saying 'You must do this or you must do that, or the government will fine you and take your kids'.
Just more of a guide in helping to achieve successful outcomes, when it comes to building meaningful relationships with your kids, so that they don't develop an 'I don't care attitude', and make stupid choices when they reach an age where they make their own choice, or have bad dysfunctional relationships with people themselves later on in their lives.

Hi AC,

I agree with what you say, however that's only possible in an ideal world. Unfortunately in the real world, the children with the biggest problems, seem to have parent(s) who also have the biggest problems as well. Little Johnny 14, is in a gang, busted for stealing cars etc. Okay its adult crime, adult time. Instead of a slap on the wrist for the 47th time, its 4 years in juvie and then 3 years in big mans prison. Ah! We need to deal with the parents, found em', dads doing 5 years for armed robbery, mums a meth-head living with some guy who bashes her 3 times a week, she's tried to commit suicide a couple of times, etc etc. My question is what do you do to solve these social and criminal problems?

what do you do to solve these social and criminal problems?
Paul1405,
Some people are just incapable of thinking. Stop the academic "experts" from sticking their beak into things they have no clue of !
Sack bureaudroids who mess up & start a NMNS to get individual thought back into people !
This will revive common sense & result in common sense policies & decisions !
Common sense is not understood anymore because the social "experts" didn't have any & so they decided no-one else should have any either so they banned it being taught !
No more teachers from the class rooms & back into class rooms. They need to experience real World issues for at least a year before we can afford to let them influence our kids !
Unless of course, people think things have been good lately !

Thanks Indyvidual, the discipline of the next generation is critical. Families now seem to be defined "sans fathers" and this seems to flow through to the children. Broadly women seems to be complicit in the redefining of the family and our lost youth. Kudos to women that fight against the destruction of the family by the Woke Marxist Academic Aristocracy Globalist's. Children need boundaries, and two parents, sadly it's the children that suffer in the long run when the mother goes to war against the contact of fathers with their children. Maybe many women are so narcissistic that they are willing to sacrifice their children for their own short term emotional decadence, ignoring the investment in future productive prosperity that they represent.

Domestic violence is a serious problem which impacts on many
families. It takes a great deal of courage to leave a
violent relationship especially for the sake of children.
However, nowdays there are organisations who help.

According to available data "On average one woman a week is
killed by her intimate male partner".

The devastating consequences of domestic violence goes
across generations and lasts a lifetime.
