I think there is something wrong with some of our young people today. Amorality, nihilism; that “game” (the knock-out game?) where teens swarm some innocent person.

Is it the lack of fathers in the home? Or, as you mentioned, youtube and the Internet (i.e., make a crazy video and get attention online).

There are a lot of great kids out there, but there are some who appear to have no empathy or an appreciation of life.

The only thing keeping them alive is the thin blue line.

In a saner time in history kids like this would have 'disappeared'.

I was fighting this battle for years, I got to see my kids every evening, about 2 hours for dinner, TV chat, good night time. They have a good upbringing but current school and social media is influencing them 14 hours a day.

There is a generation, where many are being raised without any conscience. But that’s what happens when ‘the Government will take care of you’ becomes the norm. Why worry about consequences when there usually are none for malfeasance. Our recent Admin showed you can break the Law and, if you are of the right political persuasion, nothing will happen to you. I do think consequences should be harsh for these girls. The baby could have suffocated. And way too many want ‘fame’ on YouTube, so they video their dastardly acts and wait for the adulation from their peers. Sick society we are living in............
