The kids didn’t go to Phil, the parents did, and the parents already showed that they are shit by the way the kids were raised, they were just looking to offload the responsibility of their failures as parents to some abusive shitheads disguising their abusive nature and behaviors behind Drill Instructor smokies and military facades. The children may be delinquents, but behind almost every delinquent child is a victim, a victim of abuse, a victim of poverty, a victim of a society that couldn’t give two shits about them once they were born.
