So sadly true. Parts of the neighbourhood I live in are considered rough and when you look at the actions of the parents and the total lack of control they excercise the kids don't stand a chance from day 1.
Unless the child has a medical condition (happens although far from the norm) ANY child can be raised to behave and have respect for others. They're also usually much happier for doing so as constantly screaming at a kid is hardly ideal. With few exceptions if a child isn't behaving you have to look to the parents.
