Familial Needs

I recently saw a story about a gang of mostly white teens in an affluent Phoenix suburb who go around and randomly attack people and sometimes target people. Why is this happening. It would seem that these young people have their needs met in their affluent households. Their material needs are likely being met, but there is so much more. Is there love in the family? Is love expressed to them? Do their parents even know how to express love? Do they know the importance of giving time top their children? It is likely that many of the parents think that if they meet their children's physical needs and shower them with luxuries that is enough. Besides the fact that showering them with luxuries can be harmful, it is not a substitute for authentic caring. Authentic caring means loving them unconditionally, not just when they do well in sports or other pursuits. These teens who joined this gang near Phoenix are an extreme case of parental neglect, there are all levels. There is so much parental neglect. It's a way of life in many households. It doesn't even cross the minds of many parents to take time with their kids and enjoy the present moment with them. Yes, there are times when parent have to set firm boundaries, and there are duties young people have to do around the house, but in many homes the state of anger is nearly constant. Not a good place to get familial needs met.
So many problems in society are the result of young people not getting their familial needs met, whether it is in the wealthy suburbs or the crime ridden inner cities. The country has to get back to traditional values and the family. Both the family and religion are under attack from the Marxists, as is always the case. Children just can't grow up on their own and expect to be well adjusted as adults, there has to be much caring nurturing. Yes, parents ared often stressed with making a living, but somehow, some way, there has to be time to be with your children in the present and affirm them, otherwise there will be unfavorable consequences.
