Services do.exist, and it’s bold of Drag to assume these children aren’t already exposed to alcohol, cigarettes or other addictive drugs, this could even be happening in their home, along with violence and crime. It could even be part of abuse they experience at home.
Abusive homes are inhumane, prison is inhumane, child separation is inhumane, forced rehab and therapy are inhumane. I’ve known a couple of car stealing 11 year olds and they just thought it was fun, they slso knew there would be no consequences, so why not?
