This. It requires many members, including the women and so on in that kid's life and so forth to reinforce any lesson instilled upon them. I used to mentor kids and tutor them and I noticed that while there was some change for the positive with them, their parents had to make changes too to reinforce what I had taught those kids. I had to explain all kinds of things to them about life beyond books and so on. You essentially have to become a second parent to the child but all that can be undone by another actual parent who is, for all intents and purposes, "ain't shyt". It's a multi-fold problem.
In terms of actually policing kids, some kids are on some demon time. One problem in pulling them away from such a life is that they are rewarded for their behavior and have no reason, in their minds, to turn away from it. They still get money, they still get attention, they still get p*ssy (this is important for the youngsters), they still get admiration from some, they still get to be feared, they still get to feel powerful and if they are in a crew, they still get to feel as if they are part of something greater. To break kids from this, you have to convince them away from all of this. Anything negative they merely see it as a trade-off so that alone may not rattle them. So to police, it requires a break down and a taking away of all the rewards they get.

I see it too.. You have a segment of parents that have other things more important than their kids. And its not work.
