It seems that you were on the right track from the start with having both parents who seem to have taught responsibility. Sometimes children just want to see what they can get away or they get a rush of getting caught with the hopes that mom and dad will rescue them in the end. At some point everyone make bad decisions, it just how they are dealt with that determines the consequences.

I do agree that people make bad decisions when they live in a bad situation of see it as an easy way to get out and make money. It is sad though that many people see that as the only way out.

I understand how hard situations are sometimes. I myself had to result to crime to get out of poverty. The only mistake in this is that I have four kids

I totally agree because different backsgrounds do make a difference. Some people need money quick to provide for their family and sometimes minimum wage doens’t cut it. Also I think that people shoyuld understand the criminal justice system before they choose their option. Like you said maybe after reading your article more people will have a better understanding.

Yes Mr. Santos some people do have backgrounds that make it easier for them to sell drugs. Some people just feel that drugs is their only alternative to making money. Yes they can get a job but sometimes situations arise and you need money quick. Another thing I understand is that the law is complicated. I have heard of plenty of people that agree to terms but do not fully understand them. Ususally when they understand their decision they regret it. Hopefully people can get a better understanding of the criminal justice system before they make any decisions.
