How to make a child into a Delinquent: 12 easy
rules
BY Mr John Clarke from the Police Dept in Houston,
Texas.
1) Begin at infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this
way, he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living.
2) when he picks up a bad language, laugh at him. This will make
him think he's cute.
3) Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21, and,
and then let him "decide for himself"
4) Avoid the use of the word "wrong". It may develop a guilt
complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is
arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is
being persecuted.
5) Pick up everything he leaves lying around, books, shoes,
clothes. Do everything for him so that he will be experienced in
throwing all responsibility on others.
6) Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be
careful that the silverware and the drinking glasses are
sterilized, but let his mind feast on garbage.
7) Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In this way
they will not be too shocked when the home is broken up
later.
Give a child all the
spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he
have things as tough as you had them?
9) Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that
every sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful
frustration.
10) Take his part against neighbors, teachers, policemen. they are
prejudiced against your child.
11) When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by
saying : " I never could do anything with him."
12) Prepare for a life of grief. You will be likely to have
it.
