When I see the Ten Most Wanted Lists… I always have this thought: If we’d made them feel wanted earlier, they wouldn’t be wanted now.

Meaning of the quote

This quote is saying that if we had made people feel more valued and cared for when they were younger, they might not have ended up on the list of the 10 most wanted criminals. The comedian is suggesting that when people feel unwanted or ignored, they may start making bad choices that lead them to break the law. If we had shown them more kindness and support earlier in their lives, they might have made better decisions and stayed out of trouble.
