The liberal agenda has warped the very concept of personal responsibility in today’s youth, and the tragic case of Laken Snelling is a testament to this downfall. In an era where terms like “gentle parenting” and flimsy diagnostic labels have paved the way for behavior that sidesteps accountability, we witness the grim results. A young woman, a shining example of athletic prowess and beauty pageants, seemingly had it all. Yet, she chose a path that led to criminal charges that would make any decent American shudder. Sporting the facade of success on her TikTok, she masked unthinkable secrets that ultimately sent her crashing down to a troubling reality.
When discussing young adults like Laken, we’re not merely talking about individuals but the broader culture that nurtures them. This culture, steeped in feel-good parenting policies and weak enforcement of discipline, leaves them ill-prepared for the real world. Gone are the days when a parent would drill into their child’s head the value of facing consequences head-on. Instead, it’s a sickening pattern of coddling that results in catastrophic decisions. With charges like concealing birth and evidence tampering looming over her, Snelling’s story begs us to reflect on a culture that no longer demands accountability from our future leaders.

One may wonder: where were the adults during Snelling’s spiral into this chaos? A father holds her hand in court. But where was the firm hand of discipline when it mattered? The generations before us knew better. They accepted no excuses and expected children to own their choices, no matter how hard. It’s harsh, but it worked. Fast forward to the present, and we see parents footing $100,000 bonds because they couldn’t arm their children with the moral compass needed to differentiate right from outright wrong.
The issues run deeper than one family’s saga; they send shockwaves through our society that will persist if left unchecked. Liberal ideologies have brainwashed generations into believing natural consequences are suitable substitutes for real discipline. But let’s face it: if the Snelling girl had been mentored under stricter morals, that baby might still be alive. There’s no Safe Haven Box for dodging the liberal excuse-making that costs a life. Real Americans can’t ignore the seeds of negligence sown in these so-called progressive households.
Isn’t it time to confront the elephant in the room? When are we going to admit that the left’s obsession with shielding feelings over teaching virtues is ruining our youth? How many more lives will suffer under this misguided softness? Until accountability makes its bold return, expect more stories that exemplify the collapse of responsibility. America demands better now more than ever.
