Should There be Local 'Choose a Law-Abiding Life' Educational or Interactive TV Programs at Home for Teenage Youths This Summer?

I was reminded of this when I read the following paragraphs (below) today in a May 13, 2020, currently-copyrighted factual account posted online by the "Reform Austin" media-services provider. That blog was written by contributing reporter Meredith Mohr. 

It might also help if teenage northeast Austin residents could participate in question-and-answer "virtual" meetings on the telephone or on their personal computer with an Austin Police Department Northeast Austin District representative. Quoted excerpts from the "Reform Austin" May 13 factual account: "....(S)tudents being out of school for so long and longer days at home — with some children of essential workers less supervised — have opened the city up to an increase in car thefts, aggravated assaults and burglaries, and other violent crimes. 

"Austin Police Association President Ken Casaday explained to (ABC-affiliate) KVUE (Television News) in Austin that kids have been 'left to their own devices.' '“I think the typical statistics every year show that a lot of the auto thefts are committed by juveniles..,,”' he (Ken Casaday) told KVUE."
