o Parental rejection, negligence and/or abandonment
o Drug and alcohol abuse
o Violence in children’s cartoons and other media presentation
o Sadistic pornographic rap flooding our communities. This is propagated and richly supported to prevent our young people from competing in the job market. This rap promotes violent, inappropriate sexual and social behavior, breaking the law, disrespect, immorality and racism. This lowers their aim and self-esteem, diminishes their desire for education, work and productivity as U.S. Citizens with individual worth and human dignity. It desensitizes them to all that is worthwhile, and leads to poor judgement and unwise decisions.
