Whatever is going on and whatever is causing it, it seems like more and more kids for the last 25 years or so have sure seemed unhappy and unempathetic with a tendency to violence at younger ages. There are many more not that way but still it is shocking to hear what is going on with kids in places like Chicago this year and all the vicious treatment of each other and dogs all over. Like many, I'm thinking it is that many don't have stable home lives. There are outliers, of course, but it does seem that so many young people that wind up in the news don't have a good, stable home life.
