Unfortunately, it's like if you're in a race including 100 people, and you get dead last. By the time you see that checkered flag, it's far too late. The things that you needed to do in order to win this race cannot be done in the 15 ft before you hit the finish line.
A lot of people are really confused seeing all the stuff that I do for my son. They don't understand why I would spend so much effort when he's less than a year old. Before he was even born I spent a significant amount of time figuring out the lessons that I wanted him to learn early on, and coming up with a general strategy to raise him with a specific focus on early life.
The reason is that everything that I read suggests that the most important stuff happens the earliest on. Essentially, by the time your kid hits puberty, your volume is about to get turned way down, and the only thing that that kid is going to have is what you have already taught him. You are not just teaching him by the things you say, but by the way you act and the way that you interact with the world.
Unfortunately, it is also true that all you can do is your best. Even people raised with the best of actions in the best of intentions will occasionally spit out somebody who despite having all the tools of their disposal will decide to do the wrong thing. But the chances are a hell of a lot lower.
The most terrifying thing to me is the fact that one dominant political movement is specifically advocating for the exact circumstances that create violent criminals. They are advocating for fatherlessness, they are advocating for the elimination of the nuclear family, they are advocating for absolute permissiveness and degeneracy.
