Hello mothers!
Sorry to bore you but I have a little research project that I have to do for college which requires primary research from a relevant target group (You guys would fall into parents of minors) and was wondering if you would be so kind as to lend a bit of your time and answer some questions in regards to youth crime.
There are 10 questions (don't run please) but they're short and easy to answer I promise.
Also please note this is completely anonymous, I will not be making any personal reference towards any individual. You may also send me a message if you prefer to not post your response publicly on the thread
Thank You.
