    So adequate meals and what ever environment you trying to create is going to stop them from damaging government property, or even worse? Look at the condition of those doors. Stop treating them like innocents and deal with them according to their merits, otherwise….

    Let me guess. Taxpayers’ money, right? You see, this is the nonsense that I cannot understand and stomach. I must pay to keep these little boys who care nothing about life, belly full. Send these boys and get work to do. All that money for Boys Training School. Do you know the number of families who cannot feed their children. Who is making allowances for them. Yet i have to pay to feed these types of people.

    With structure and support prayerfully these young men can be saved. Sometimes consistant meals, a roof overhead, and people who genuinely care about you will make that a reality. The children are our future so let’s do all that we can to make them all strong and ready for it.
