Center Moriches Taxpayers Community Discussion Forum

I don't think having a community center will help . Where are the parents when these kids are out to all hours of the night.  The parents need to control their kids and enforce discipline when needed. The problem wiht parents today is they are afraid to discipline their kids for fears of CPS coming after them.  TRUST ME, if you know your child is up to no good and out to all hours of the night, it's ok to enforce discipline even a daily ritual beating is ok in my book ( just kiddin).  It will keep them in line. But parents need to be more stern with their kids just like their parents were on them.  Instead of allowing them to run wild on the streets. Get these kids involved in after school activity. Have them play sports or do something constructive to help the community. 
By letting these kids run wild and do what the please reflects poorly on the parenting skills and ultimately that child will not know the good in life because they will be leading a life of crime from committing graffiti, vandalizing personal property of others, etc.  Parents need to step up their game and get involved in what their children are up to.  Spend more time with them and get involved instead of allowing the television or video games babysit them.
