Because these kids need more than punishment, they also need mentorship. Their parents aren't there; they have no adult figures to look up to, except criminals willing to exploit them because adult criminals know they can hire kids to do their dirty work as kids have a decent amount of legal immunity.

Mate, the individual behavior of the general populace is a small factor compared to what the corporations spew out and how much of an impact the luxuries of the top 10% income earners have on this poor Earth.
The problem is at the top, not the bottom.

Yeah. It's such a nuanced situation that needs a holistic solution that requires resources that people aren't willing to expend.
You cannot just shower these communities with money, a lot of these communities also require a degree of mentorship and lots of social workers too.
It's going to be tough to break the cycle.

So if my router is in the front of the house and middle of my first floor halfway through my dining room the router signal dies, I put it in my dining room as close to halfway as possible. Your saying I should put it in an outlet that is closet to my stairs or beneath my front room where the router is, so instead of overlapping it would just boost it 1500 more sq Ft past the point it does now?

Yeah, from what I understand, climate change can increase the sinuosity of the jet stream, which separates cold polar air from warmer low-latitude air. Higher sinuosity=more ripples, which leads to larger temperature swings.

The thing people miss with wifi extenders and mesh systems is you want them to have strong signal to each other - NOT positioned in the rooms you want signal in (because they will still have bad signal there). Ideally you want the extender/mesh point halfway between the source/router and the location you want to improve the signal.
In a townhouse, you want them aligned vertically with as little metal, glass, and plaster between them as possible.

This is what happens when parents are soft on kids, schools are soft on student misbehavior, and society is soft on crime.

Absolutely… I have a mesh system with the base station in the basement and a node on the second floor … I have 5/5 coverage throughout the house

Ah yeah. You might want an additional extender. That's a nearly twice the square footage of a usual house here.

How many on.here compost? Or don't eat red meat ?
I'm getting downvoted. So most on here complain but take no action?

Get a mesh system. If you have Ethernet jacks throughout your house, I’d use wired backhaul if speed is important.

Or something in between. For instance, the 15 year old girl who carjacked and then ended up killing the Uber driver at the Navy Yard already had another carjacking under her belt. So maybe for first offense a teen should go through the alternate rehabilitation program, but if they go right back out and commit another serious crime then they should be tried as an adult.

The USAO's office, not just Graves, all his predecessors, does not release stats or respond to FOIA requests, so, no way to know.
Congress has oversight over DOJ, maybe that mugged Congresswoman can start with getting some data.

True. And from a school and Covid angle, we all felt and saw how many kids were home alone at very young ages because their parents were the mandatory workers in the city - police, fire, etc. It’s definitely a huge issue.
