Actually, No, none that I can recall. You see, generation after generation of my family got the smackdown at home for misbehaving. There was no "oh, maybe he/she has a chemical imbalance" or "Maybe we are neglecting his/her emotional needs".
It was always very cut and dry, and thankfully so. Criminal behavior in my family is extremely shameful and you simply wouldn't do it. If by some chance my son or daughter pulled a stupid human trick and landed themselves in jail, they'd better be willing to suffer the consequences. I would be ashamed of myself as a parent if my kid offed himself while in jail, I certainly wouldn't blame the prison guards.
I think one of the biggest problems in this day and age, are people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. All their woes are caused by someone other than themselves. It's all just
