Hasn't American society...?

made parents afraid to discipline their children? And then when the children screw up, then society blames the parents. Isn't society just as much to blame? Most parents that I know do the best job that they can, but with and violence and drugs being so rampant and IN YOUR FACE, a parent can only do so much. Kids cannot even watch cartoons these days without seeing something that can be deemed as ual and violent!!
