Memphis mob violence continues with a second attack reported this week. A group of over ten kids had allegedly ransacked a street in southern Memphis. With the attacks involving teenagers, should the parents of these kids be blamed?

After the violent attack involving two grocery store employees and one customer early this month, another case of Memphis mob violence has been reported. However, this time around the "Point Out, Knock Out" trend wasn't the game. Instead, the group of over ten teenagers simply attacked cars and people walking out on the street near Peabody and South Bellevue.

One of the Memphis mob violence victim, Sharon Mourning, claims the teenagers stopped her car from going any further before slamming their fists and kicking their feet against her car. Mourning was able to leave the site uninjured. Yet, two other victims near the area of the Memphis mob violence were not so lucky. An elderly man claimed to have been assaulted by around five kids while a 16-year old boy had been attacked by one assailant, aged 17.

With the increasing incidents of Memphis mob violence, Mayor A C Wharton and Police Director Toney Armstrong are calling out the attention of the parents of kids involved.

"Parental supervision is crucial to reducing delinquent behavior; we have got to get our parents more involved with what is going on in the lives of our children. We are noticing our offender population is getting younger and younger. Our juvenile justice system issues are greater and greater," stated Armstrong.

Right now, the blame is placed on the parents of the teenagers involved in the Memphis mob violence. Director Toney Armstrong hopes to avoid such incidents in the future if parents and social services start taking on their responsibility as well rather than leaving it to the police.
