Have you tried parenting them? You know... sitting down and reading a book to or with them? Playing a board game or something?

Maybe try not neglecting them and they wont act out with cries for attention, and the whole stick problem goes away?

Maybe end the ridiculous problem with laws that overcriminalize everything, overcrowded prisons run by NGO's, and segregation of access to public services that keep poor neighborhoods uneducated and un-cared-for?

Maybe stop glorifying sound bites that boil complex issues down to something asinine, but catchy?

Maybe find a leader that leads people to greater cooperation and peace, rather than deeper and deeper into us vs. them mentality?

Maybe not avoid the real issues - the causes of human violence - and focus on preventing crimes before they start rather than criminalizing the entire population and vilifying whatever happens to be the current version of throwing rocks at other people?
