How Far Have We Come? Not Far Enough

Article in the Huffington Post - very insightful on children's frequency as crime victims...

'If any other segment of our population were so impacted, we would declare an epidemic! The Center for Disease Control would fund a cure; we would pass and enforce legislation and increase private and public security. But, since it is only our children, many in our society accept these appalling numbers as status quo.'

We may not be where we would like to be, but thank goodness that we are not where we sued to be.
