When security is someone else’s problem, nobody is secure.

Lawlessness in rural South Dakota[*1] :

South Dakota’s reservations have seen an explosion of juvenile and drug-related crime in recent years, the result of a system where offenders see no officers to arrest them, no means to get them to court and no place to put them if convicted.

Efforts to deal with the problem are stymied by a lack of money, complicated jurisdiction laws and sovereignty issues.

Yeah, it’s on an Indian reservation, as if that really matters.

I would note that in the entire 1,400-word article linked above, the words “parent,” “mother,” or “father” do not appear once.

Not once.

Raising your children shouldn’t be somebody else’s problem, either.  Governments can’t do it.  Only parents can.
