it's not so much getting them involved in anything, it's teaching them morals and ethical values. however, to do that, you first have to have them yourself and that is where the problem lies. the kids are not "messed up in the head" so much as they simply lack the proper decision making abilities. i agree, if you cant raise your kids properly, dont have them. the chances are that they have one "accidently" which really means they are irresonsible to start with. it's a fantastically vicious little circle. the only real hope is that the kid gets killed before reproducing, though even that is flawed as the irresposible people having kids in the first place are having many kids.
