The home & our adults not setting good social standards for the youths, they practise what they see, That place needs cameras installation and zero tolerance to loitering, when it was reported children R there sometimes 1pm-6pm loitering I suggested a maximum 2 hrs for any one student to be there , laws R lax, society breakdown of respect is some of the problems and I do believe some of these parents ought to be accountable (especially non-working ones)Y would a child leave school at 1pm and just coming home at 7pm, beat him/her ass from school, Cross rd, or Half Way Tree if U have to.
