ANIMALS AND CHILDREN

Lilly as a small kitten. I had to use love and rules for her to train her to be a good cat. When she did not do what I wished, I used a spray bottle of water. Punishment but not harmful and also I would raise and deepen my voice to let her know I did not like what she was doing. Whereas, I would praise her in my squeaky voice and give her a treat when she did what I approved she had done. Children can be handled the same if they respect you as adults. 

Now here is the crust of the matter. Nashville has changed and not for the better. Crime in my once easy going city has become the norm instead of the exception. Lots of the crimes are done by youths, some as young as 10 with most not old enough to be charged as an adult. Five youths were arrested for killing an up and coming young singer because he refused to give them his car keys. Three youths shot a man in the leg as he was enjoying a day sitting on his porch. 4 were arrested last evening for stealing a pregnant woman's car. And on and on it goes. Some people blame it on violent video games and I am sure it can desensitive them but also the daily news has the same effect. 

Our police department cannot get enough recruits because the people are not backing our police department for doing their job. Well the voters just voted for a Police Oversight Committee. The police already had paid oversight called Internal Affairs. The taxpayers are paying large salaries for the people who are on the POC. This money would be better spent trying to help the youths before they commit crimes which will more or less affect their entire life. 

Looks like to me that Respect and Common Sense have fell in the same bucket and someone slamed the lid close. 

THE KITTY JUSTICE IS CHILDREN SHOULD BE RAISED INSTEAD OF GROWING UP ON THEIR OWN. WHERE ARE THE PARENTS, COMMUNITY, AND CHURCH? I GUESS THEY ARE WATCHING THE POLICE.
