I'm Afraid of Americans: The Kids are Far From Alright

These links were all on the front page of the Drudge report today. They're terrfiying and I don't want the kids to be the future anymore.

• Two girls aged 12 and 10 kidnapped a neighbor's one year old son and held him for a $200,000 ransom.
• An eleven year old was arrested in alabama after leading police on a chase, all while she was drunk.
• And a group of teens, tortured a woman and her son, before forcing the boy to take part in her gang rape.

Where are the parents? And what is happening to our society? It's times like this when I don't think I'd mind if the world actually did end on December 21, 2012.
Or maybe an asteroid will come to end it all. Either way really.
