I think that a lot of these kids could benefit from an "Adventure Living" experience. My church works with a program where delinquents are offered the opportunity to go to a challenge camp rather than be dealt with judicially. It is a nature camp with no TV or other such amenities, and has defined rules and community responsibilities. The camp we work with has an 85% success rate; those that don't 'pass' wind up back in the judicial system.

While it is not a total solution, and can't even begin to address "what is wrong with kids today?", it does have a positive effect on those that successfully complete the program.
