I agree it is a local LEO problem only.

Two-pronged approach:

1. Serious crimes should be met with severe and certain punishment. We could have a long discussion about why we don't have that now.

2. Much of the problem is caused by a social vacuum. Many of these kids don't have fathers around, so they have to look elsewhere for what fathers are supposed to provide. The welfare system and the deterioration of our culture have a lot to do with this situation, IMO.
