These parents don't care. The kids run them. I see plenty of them walking the streets during school hrs daily. I've run into them in stores, and I've actually seen adults arguing with them about why they weren't in school. Hold their parents accountable.
They sit infront of the schools smoking weed .
CHARGE. THE. PARENTS.
Dang, I couldn't skip school. Back in the 70s there were plenty of truant officers. You could not be walking around during school hours. Nor could you miss too many days out of school, the truant officers would be at your door. Letters from school to parents, or phone calls in the evening.
Kids need structure and education. They also need both parents involved. Truancy is a good indicator of what is and isn't going on in the home. Memphis has got to do better. Do you reading this trust these kids to be responsible adults at the rate things are going now? Or are you worried about how much worse things are going to get when they are "adults" after seeing so many out of control so young?
There have always been children sneaking out of the house.
All the money has been taken away from schools and social programs and given to the police funds.
The curriculum needs to be revised. You need more truancy officers. Social workers and psychologist are needed in schools.
Pitiful
Folks keep saying parents like these women aren’t incentivized to have babies out of wedlock.
Even if it's not part of the cause, it's still going to be a symptom. You can't be out all night thugging and creeping, without sleeping at some point.
So the parents aren’t responsible no more????
That's ridiculous they bad behinds needs too be in school or jail some of theses parents can't watch kids 24/7 so if the kids decide not to attend school lock them up because otherwise they are going too ger into all kinds of trouble bottom line period
The parents don't care as well. The parents promote this crap. The parents do need to be held accountable. But here's the prob the parents get held accountable and while they sit in jail who's really going to be with the child......
Lock the children and the parents up. !!!!!!!!
Same ones ain't going to school, years later, is the same ones being late and missing work..... lol
No, they're the same ones Burning, Looting, and Murdering.

What are the Demographics of those who are truant in Memphis?
White
Parents is plural, these are single momma raised kids
Where are the males(they’re not MEN)who helped conceive them?
Single parenting is not an excuse. A lack of parental involvement is more of the issue.
@@kimerietate8372 often times women choose mediocre government handouts than actually try to build a relationship with a decent man.
@@hoesdontcount8718 There are no decent Black males, so there’s that.
It’s so easy to say hey where parents at but what if parents can’t control them.. I see this just about everyday a child cursing and fighting their parents
Where are your parents? 😢
Yes, it's part of the problem.
Of course it is 😔🤦🏾♀️😥
Closed schools they never went back. Told ya so
Start taking away the parents' benefits or charging fines. Some people need a little incentive to do the right thing.
Why should a business intimidate its customers?
Stop raising crooks
Really???
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Daddy comes around once a month called the welfare check
Thanks single parent homes

That would explain the ignorance of so many fatherless Democrats.
Lol the fact you act like these people even care about political views is asinine
