Ok, so did a little research...Freddie Gray didn't finish high school...had been arrested numerous times for selling dope in the streets and one time for illegal possession of a fire arm.
His mother who is an admitted Heroine addict and still is...will receive 5.4 million dollars and his father who was not present while Freddie was growing up and in and out of Jail will receive around $600K and 40 K or so...is going ?? somewhere...not sure.
Not in the next ten years would these three make this money...not even in the next 20 years.....I'm wondering how exactly did the city of Baltimore come up with this figure....and why it would be good to give this much money to these people.....especially when the city of Baltimore has obviously neglected the people in the inner city.
Why not use the money to help people in the inner city build business's....and these business's could hire the people in the area...give them jobs...give them purpose...keep them off of the streets.
yes, I realize this single mother of three who struggled to raise her kids while being a heroine addict is suffering from the loss of her son...but why is she receiving millions of dollars?
Why can't the city take the money and put it into a fund to help the inner city kids? Build them a community center that will teach music and art and have tutors to help the kids with their home work and school projects...or have counselors and mentors available to the inner city kids and families to try and better themselves and their lives....put aside some of the money for a scholarship....given to a few kids every year who attend the community center and work hard and show they deserve it.
I just don't get this.

Freddie Gray settlement a slap in face of accused cops?
Baltimore's mayor says the city's $6.4M wrongful death settlement with family of Freddie Gray will not impact the criminal cases of the accused officers. The 'On the Record' legal panel takes a closer look.

I'm not sure why they paid the money before any of the court cases were adjudicated. There also should be some semblance of the payout relative to earning potential. In a best case scenario he might have made 50,000 per year which over a 40 year career would have been 2.0 million.
What will happen to the money? Most people that win the lottery end up broke in a number of years. Mostly because they do not know how to manage money. I suspect that will be the case here as well.

I just saw a story that his mother got the majority of the money. She apparently is/was a heroin addict. His dad got about 1/2 a million. He was never a part of his life and another 1/2 million went to a trust fund of some sort. Baltimore failed to protect the city from this properly. This is unfortunate.
