Start'em Young

A 12-year-old boy was recently sentenced in Wyandotte County Juvenile Court Wednesday for a carjacking in August 2005. And this has me thinking that jail is probably cheaper than child care nowadays . . . at least for parents. So keeping your thug ass kids in line should no longer be concern . . . not that it was in the first place. Whether it's prison or foster homes, the state will take care of your kids.

And while I think that the prospect of a roving band of child thieves is yet another example of how this country is moving closer to a third world nation, it's also quite funny and would be a really great setting for a reality show. Additionally, you could pay the kids in food and prozac. Everybody wins.
