That's the opposite of what I said. Truancy laws and CPS work great when parents are "well-behaved".

But they aren't a substitute for "well-behaved" parents. No matter how much money the government spends it will not be able to raise children.

I don't know how to solve this problem but I am sure any solution involves recognizing what's going on here, which you are not doing.
