Why Kids Kill, Commit Crime and Suicide

by Sue LeLit

They see through the hypocrisy of our society! They find it everywhere: in the home, business, media, politics, justice, health-care, sports, schools and even in far too many churches.

Sadly, some kids choose no longer to belong to this society.

On Friday, April 30th, the advertisement below appeared in the Estancia Valley Citizen and probably many other papers. On Sunday, May 2nd, two days later "60 Minutes" broadcast a most pejorative account re the Corrections Corporation of America’s (CCA) prison in Youngstown, Ohio. The angered mayor and other city officials appeared on screen, but CCA’s corporate staff declined an invitation to appear, respond and be interviewed.

It is much easier and profitable to pay for propagandist ads.

Executives and chief of staff at the Casa Maria Health Care Center and its corporate owner Integrated Health Systems concur.
