Youth crime in places like Palmerston and Alice Springs isn’t caused by “bad kids.” It’s caused by government policies that remove fathers, destroy culture, pressure the mothers, and leave kids with no guidance, no elders, and no structure. These kids aren’t criminals — they’re the product of a system that broke their families first. When you see them in a car laughing, or roaming the streets, remember: you’re watching a generation raised without the stability that policy took away.
