Great article that highlights an important issue-there is a lack of parental guidance and a lack of safe places where kids can congregate, but they do exist. Oceanside JCC runs a teen night ulimited every other Saturday, one does not have to be a member to attend, it's a small fee, like 10 bucks. There is bowling, billiards, roller skating, ice skating, all open in the evening. I don't mean to be judgemental, but such tragedies usually happen in what we call in my former country "dark places", meaning, obscure from public view, back alleys, forgotten corner in the park, combined with lack of discipline from parents. Personal example-across the street from my school for gifted and talented kids with a focus on math and science, there was a park where some of my schoolmates would go to smoke, drink, maybe have sex, there were no drugs in the Soviet Union back then, in the 80's. I never went. Never even was curious to see what was going on, so great was my fear for personal safety instilled by my parents.
