It seems more and more youngsters are involved in killings these days, or we hear more about it more than in former years.

Ruby is right too many young people are killed before they can even start their lives. Is this a sad sign of our times?

Teen violence is rising everywhere. It’s so sad that as the days and years progress it just gets worse. Violence is not what kids have in mind when they are at their most vulnerable stages, and neither is racism. It’s sad to place the blame at the parents, but we must all admit that our children turn to violence when that is all they become accustomed to. With bullies, child molestation and non-involved parents. Protection for oneself and thy possession becomes part of the norm, and with ignorance and not following up on your children’s whereabouts, or who they socialize with comes consequences. All in all my prayers are with them at this moment and I do hope this young girl has a speedy and eventful recovery.
