   Sadly, if the gang banger is 17, his mother is more likely to be 35 than 55.   
   I'm not sure that it's proper to jail parents for the acts of the minor   
   children, but I fully support the notion that minors have fewer rights than   
   adults.   
      
   I also buy into the idea that we need to return to punishment and not   
   rehabilitation. People, including minors, need to be punished for bad deeds,   
   and the punishment will rehabilitate. Put people in work camps and make them   
   toil away for 16 yours a day. F--- their self esteem. Make them work.
