"Hurt people, hurt, people" Is an old spiritualist/semi-psychology saying.
Really old.
back in the 50s, at least.

But, letting them loose to commit more crime is not kindness.
We need to heal the childhood trauma. And that is HARD, and psychology today does not work on this, especially for boys. And yelling at them/shaming them only makes things worse.
And, the technology doesn't work, when that area of the brain is fried.
Like, men are walking away. The young men aren't even trying to date anymore.
The greatest motivator of men is now gone.
