So we will fix a parent with arrested cognitive development by throwing them out on the street. By ignoring the problem. Or by blaming low incoming housing. At what point does that become logical?

On the other hand, a parent may not be cognitively retarded. It is just an excuse. The question answered only with speculation. Just another formula for failure. A major reason for social breakdown is so many conclusions without first learning facts. As if more laws, more punishment, and more UG will solve all problems.

Low incoming housing failed due to bad management. It required complex managers who were provided resources. Management that was provided support from their government supervisors. And who could therefore exercise control of that housing complex. Breakdown started when local management did not even have money to repair and repaint apartments as tenants moved out. Budgeting experts who did not see failure that year. Therefore knew further budget cuts were appropriate. Eventually each complex became overrun by squatters and gangs when complex management could not even replace failed refrigerators. Did not know who was living in each apartment. And did not dare evict squatters.

What causes failure of low incoming housing. A bean counter mentality that cost controls so aggressively that an apartment could not even be repainted.

So, how do we know parents have arrested cognitive development? Due to the same popular myths and reasoning that also proved Saddam's WMDs? Or do we just ignore the missing facts? Instead, convert assumptions into proof? Then react to those assumptions?

Asking a kid why he is rioting can only identify his state of mind and maybe his stage of cognitive development. I still do not see any posts that first identify the problem.
