I have 2 stepdaughters both of whom went wayward in their teens. As parents we were critisicised for wrapping them up in cotton wool, therefore totally the opposite of not giving a damn. Given my morals and respect for the law and the rest of human life I would have been extremely annoyed to be locked up for something they did. You can explain right and wrong until you are blue in the face but it doesn't always sink in with some kids. Society has a habit of given publicity/recognition to those who do wrong, very little praise is given to those who do right.
