RE: North Carolina city implements curfew for all minors

I would be willing to bet that if we dug into the demographics that we would find that a lot of them are single-parent kids. I already said this in another response but I knew zero kids that had only one parent when I was in elementary school and everyone, rich or poor, had a pretty fantastic home life and did well in school, stayed out of trouble etc.

Now when I changed to high school I started making friends that were in single-parent households. These kids had a LOT of freedom to do whatever they wanted and they were kind of envied by the rest of us at the time and would basically go wherever they wanted. They didn't do any sports or have to go home at any particular time.

All of the kids I knew from this sort of situation grew up eventually and none of them that I stayed in touch with have amounted to very much, two of them are in prison.
