I have. This is an effing horrorshow just waiting for the curtain to go up.
One of my grandkids goes to a school where the counselor's son is the scourge of the playground. Those who are tired of being bullied by the kid are 'counseled' while mamma's little sociopath runs amok.
While that is just one real-life example of how the 'bad seed' will go ignored while others suffer for their sins. Keep in mind that Loughner (Shot Gabby Giffords, among others) was known to have "issues", but had a parent who worked on the inside at the sheriff's Dept (IIRC), and just didn't get prevented from becoming a serious problem.
Not ignored. Celebrated.
Look at the axiom "women love bad boys". Large segments of our culture praises "Billy Badass". And they grow up to be union thugs.
