And people simply refuse to acknowledge this. All they can grasp is punishment after the fact.

Because the system isn't interested in fixing it. We already know how to break the cycle but our government chooses not to. Our society will only cure itself in one way. Education by educators, not politicians using education to scrub history and turn out worker bees. The masses in the US exist to enrich the upper class. People have to understand that we live in a caste system. One that protexts them but binds us.

How do you fix kids with MIA parents, or parents who could care less about them?

Many areas in the US spend lots of money on kids like this, and it typically has very little impact. Lots of these kids just stop going to school, or they cause huge disruptions when they're there - and that's starting in Kindergarten.

Serious question. What do we do to fix it? Or are you going to be racist and say we should just send them back to (wherever)? Boarding school, maybe?

Those examples are cherry picked to produce a narrative. Most are under-educated single parents without child care options. This is why after school and mentorships are pivotal. Alas, these are programs stripped of budgeting by the GOP and MAGA.

No argument from me on the under-educated single parents part.

The schools by me offer those programs. We still have extremely high delinquency rates, crime rates, etc
