For all of you parents with the "I don't know" syndrome. This film is created for you. To put that issue right smack in your face so it won't be room for denial.  You know it's a shame half these babies are in jail or dead. These children who have lost their life how much of it was the parent's fault for lack of parenting. And you know who you are.... cause the guilt got to be eating u up alive. And the ones sitting in jail you the parents need to be right there with them...... if you not already. And yes we know that happens: fathers in jail with their sons or mothers in jail with their daughter. What a generation after generation tradition to uphold! And you think you not responsible? That the blame should not be on you? Yea right! Now if we don't make an attempt to empower the young they will continually revolve in that cycle and follow in the doom footstep of their parents. So, get this all you "i don't know parents" It is your responsibility and your duty to know!!!!

Because contrary to your belief: PARENTING IS A RESPONSIBILITY & NOT A PRIVILEGED
