Where are our children going to?

In the past, there was this general belief among parents both in developing countries and the developed countries that, respect for God, respect for self and respect for parents were the most important aspects of life. Many parents knew that at a certain age, thier daughters would be bethrothed to men who were respected in the society and had good morals as well as had a good reputation. They raised their children based on these facts that good reputation and good morals would give them better husbands/wives and make them gain respect from the society. You would hardly find a girl pregnant at a tender age because it was considered a taboo and a disgrace to the family. Many generations have passed and alot has changed since then.
Today, when a woman gets pregnant, she wonders what her child will be. When she goes to the hospital with her husband and the ultra sound says it will be a girl, the woman although filled with joy, she wonders how that child will be raised in this our present society. At about age 10, a girl is already seen running around with boys and hugging and kissing in public. It goes to the extent where when one drives down the street, you see very young girls dressed almost nude, hugging boys and sometimes men old enough to be thier father with no shame. One would wonder; " Do her parents know where she is and what she is doing?" Young girls and boys now have the courage to talk carelessly to their parents and parents do not do anything because they are scared the child will call 911. What they forget is, it is their duty to correct and raise these children in a correct manner. At times, I ask myself, who is right and who is wrong and there seems to be blame on both sides as well as the law. Children are being taught in schools how to dial 911 and report thier parents when they scold at them . Parents forget it is their responsibility to bring up these children to be God-fearing and respectful, not only to the parents but to themselves and to the society. Some children from poor homes will say, poverty sent them to the streets while some boys end up being thieves even if their parents do well to give them money.
Society has spoiled our children because girls try to follow what they call "fashion" , as such, they go out to look for money to buy what they think they need. The boys end up joining gangs where they do drugs, kill, steal and in the end, they get locked up behind bars. Some of these children end up getting Sexually Transmitted Diseases, HIV and AIDS. Some end up dying and making the family miserable.
What is the law doing to protect and guide these children? Where are we going if we can't correct our children when they are wrong? I wonder if the world is coming to an end with all the ails and problems in our present times? Where do we start to correct this?
