Comments on: More symptoms of youth violence while officials look away http://ilind.net/2010/08/27/more-symptoms-of-youth-violence-while-officials-look-away/ Ian Lind • Online daily from Kaaawa, Hawaii Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:47:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nancy http://ilind.net/2010/08/27/more-symptoms-of-youth-violence-while-officials-look-away/comment-page-1/#comment-21835 Nancy Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:04:05 +0000 http://ilind.net/?p=5623#comment-21835 Why should the school be responsible? How about placing blame where it belongs? The guilty parties are the people involved and, possibly, their parents, who clearly have failed to raise their kids properly. However, after a certain point, the parents don't have that much influence, so I wouldn't necessarily blame them. Violence seems to be more acceptable in "local" culture than it is in many other places. (I didn't say "all other places," so don't even build that straw man.) I've been at the receiving end of unprovoked violence. It's intimidating, it's ugly, and many cops and parents seem to accept it. Why should the school be responsible?

I recall that two years ago staged fights between King Intermediate students were being reported by residents in the area surrounding that school. Conclusion, it's the same students that are involved. They are just slightly older. It’s interesting that these after school fights are now being reported between Castle High School students.
