We All Live Here: Charleston County Juvenile Crime and Schools

A 14-year-old boy charged with two homicides in Charleston County attended Charleston County schools. Don't you wonder what went on when he was in the classroom? His father "has no comment" on his son's incarceration. Where is his mother? What about his extended family and friends? 

It's certainly unlikely that he will ever enter high school, much less complete it. So-called experts called to explain such criminality at this young age have suggested that he may have been bullied or that he doesn't know how to meditate or control his anger or that he just lacked role models. Really? I suppose it's not possible that drugs were involved. Certainly, the entire P & C article on juvenile crime in the state never mentions them!

Charleston County leads the state in juvenile crime. Charleston County also leads the state in the number of failing public schools. 

Golly, could there be a connection?
