Bad Behavior by Children

Congratulations on opening your school. I hope that it is still operating. Are you teaching children ethics and values that that they seem not to be learning from their own parents? A few days ago, two kids (approximately 13 years old) were running down the middle of a street as I was driving by. One of them threw up into the air a glass container that fell to the street and shattered across the entire street. After calling the police the report these fools, I cleaned the broken vodka bottle up. I had previously seen these boys with a teenage girl drinking out of the bottle in front of apartments between Killingsworth and Emerson. The previous night I saw these two boys with the same teenage girl outside at 1:00am. I want to thank their parents for doing such a wonderful job of teaching them right from wrong. Perhaps I will take the time to correct their behavior the next time they engage in this sort of vandalism. Parents; disipline your children or maybe a stranger will have to do it for you!
