We hope you have noticed and clicked on the ad for the movie "SIX" on the right side of TalkLeft. It's a documentary by Dr. Helen Smith (who happens to be married to Instapundit and law prof. Glenn Reynolds.) It's a remarkable film that raises important issues society should be addressing with respect to violent juvenile crime. Dr. Smith points out:

"The bigger issue is-- ”we've got dangerous people out there in society, what do we do about it? We look at it and say--”these people just sort of did this and we don't know why. We do know why. We don't do anything about it. We don't deal with the mentally ill. If somebody's sick, we don't keep them in a hospital. The police don't deal with them. The schools don't deal with them.

"If the systems won't deal with them and the families are having problems themselves--"what do we do? We need to decide to deal with it as a society--”or we just say, no, it's not our job but we are going to allow this to happen. And we're not going to be surprised about it."

Check out the movie's website . We've watched the film and it is quite compelling. You can order a copy from the website.
