    Of course they do! Do you not see my comment saying fed bathroom and exercise? No one is disagreeing with that. But the situation isnt getting any better, so what do we do here? you either need to have government overstep into peoples lives to ensure these kids are raised properly (Which of course, isn’t palatable) or you make consequences actually stick (which no one seems to want either). So what, we stay the course? Accept its cool for teenagers to break into peoples homes at 3am, steal a car and go joy riding? Someone’s gonna get killed. Hell, someone just was in victoria!

      maybe we look at addressing the systemic problems we face due to a legacy of slavery and colonialism? We’ve literally only tried the punitive approach; it’s maybe time for Australia to get its fucking act together
