    “Hundreds of unsupervised kids down here,” he said, while speaking in the city’s downtown. “I don’t know how many times I had to say it: We are not your children’s keepers. You are! And parents and guardians have got to step up.”

    When did it become illegal to be a teenager? Just seeing a teen exists seems to drive some people crazy. Is it illegal for teenagers to hang out? If not, why is he ranting about parents?

      It’s not. Blaming anyone and everyone except yourself and the role you have in the society you have created is just the new norm. Cops have been given the green light to day whatever the fuck they want for decades and now the lights are just gone and it’s an expressway. They are right, you are wrong and you need to be prepared accordingly.

      When did it become illegal to be a teenager?

      Shortly after tiktok made kids do dumb things for cheap popularity.

      I’m more thankful, day by day, that I escaped my teens before every kid had a phone and every phone had a camera.
