This is a prime example of why our society must be addressed. There is no one single answer, no easy resolution. It is about education. It is about opportunity. It is about social justice. It is so much more than drugs and guns.

Its about the break down of Society. Its about holding Fathers accountable for the children they create and abandon, Which BTW happens in lower income communities.

SSG (Join to see) - Where in the article did it make any mention of abandoned children? I must've missed it. Personally I think that's a myth. Yes there are bums that on't support their kids but I doubt it is at epidemic proportions. Maybe I'm sheltered but I had more difficulty finding absentee fathers that I knew then responsible fathers. That isn't something that would be restricted to just lower income communities. Also while I'm not against the right to bear arms, having a gun isn't going to help anyone significantly improve their situation in Chicago.

SSG (Join to see) - it was the comment its much more than Guns and Drugs. I have been a DARE officer, and I have been on many 'Child Welfare" calls. Depending on what state you live in a Welfare worker can not just walk in to a home. I was a Police Officer and Deputy in Missouri. MO Law only allows only Doctors and Law Enforcement Officer to take a child into protective custody. While I know it happen in all economic classes it is the lower ones where the children suffer the most. I have seen it first hand It's when the parent(s) are out of the house working multiple jobs just to put food on the table. When there is only one parent the child(ren) are more likely to be out and about. If they are very lucky they find a mentor at church or a local club ect...but more often than not its gangs that fill that hole. I grew up in the Barrios of Los Angeles (S. El Monte/El Monte) The oldest gangs in LA are there and back then they were 4-5 generations of gang members.
