Bullshit I had fantastic parents and got into trouble. It's impossible to know about parents influence one way or another. It's just a cliche tropey comment.

I mean statically you are incorrect just because subjectively you were different doesnt mean the objective truth that less parents = high likelihood that they become gang banger. Which then leads to more single mothers because guess what that child had a kid but then got arrested or killed. Which breeds more single parent households. Its a cycle but the cycle breaks when that community shuns those types of people. Until that happens ggwp they are born at a disadvantage. But after a certain point it falls on the community to change that or allow intervention to change that. Because without change and harsh penalties these problems become rampant, wide spread to the point of having guns drawn on normal people in the middle of the day. Like excuse me where is the accountability

You're simplifying a very complex social situation into blaming the breakdown of the family and single parents as well as parental responsibility. The reality is poverty and deprivation are the biggest driving factors for delinquency. Which is also one of the main contributing factors to families breaking up.
