Ed, stop the violence that plagues this generation of children. It is not where or how children are born; there are situations that children are exposed to. Stop blaming the schools, government, or lack of money. The responsibility starts with you, the people who chose to become caretakers. There are some who cannot be classified as parents. Parents instill in their children morals, a good strong work ethic, constructive discipline, respect of self and others. Please let me know how I can become a mentor to children. I do not drive.
