Stop Youth In Prison, Our Future
We are sitting back and allowing our future, our youth, to go to prison when they have not had a chance to live a life or make real decisions that lead to their future and ours. It's our job to guide them, and it's the APD's job to inform us of where our children are and what they are up to when we are not looking; not to give them felony charges that affect the rest of their lives and ours, but to make a difference in their lives by telling the parents, watching their actions and coming up with healing solutions; not to give them gaping scars that mar their minds for the rest of their lives by placing them in a prison system with criminals to be their guides.
Why is this important?
I also need to edit the top paragraph second sentence it's APD's job to let us know what our children are up to when we are not looking and thEy see them at a place where they should not be. On 3/2/16 I just want to add that all of these kids need some form of punishment for whatever they did and to learn now that if you do something against the law, you will be punished for what THEY did, but if our children have to pay, should not these adults pushing our children pay as well instead of run around these streets looking like heroes with money and nice cars instead of what they really are? I think so, and they should be given a harsher penalty for willfully destroying so many young lives to the extent that they lose the options of education or a good living.
My beautiful son is turning 25 in Goose Creek this month because he has become one of the many to lose their lives to the adults in uniform and the adults in criminal form. They think our children can do their time while they roam free, already living a life of decisions when these youthful men and women have just begun theirs. They say my son has black hair and brown eyes, 2APSIN ID #, 5 different DL #, and was pulled over 34 plus times in 3 years. The lawyers told me yes, they chase the kids around the streets, but pay me $25,000 and I can get your son off. They also told me they cannot pick him out of a line-up, but he's guilty and going to do time. The lawyer also told me that the judge and jury will never see this evidence because he was not going to present it to them, and smiled at me when he said it. They also say my son has black hair and brown eyes and is 6 feet tall, but he has blond hair, blue eyes and is barely 5'5 . This is Justice? Why have we as a community that was once very close-knit allowed this kind of behavior right under our noses to grow such a tremendous amount that it has affected our immediate future and the growth of families, which is the bedrock of our lives. I'm asking everyone to sign this petition and stop the needless sacrifice of such smart minds to the criminal element, and to take responsibility for the guidance of all the youth around us and build back our city to the beauty that brought us here in the first place. Stop chasing our kids and go after the adults that made their decision to live the way they do. Give our youth a chance at a life with support and strength to succeed. Give our communities the chance they deserve to be strong and build a future for our grandchildren to be proud of. Felons are in and out of the system because they can't get a job with a felony, homeless cause they can't rent a house because of a felony, but they can be a criminal with a felony. Adults harassing our youth - and you know who you are - STOP; we love our children and want them back.
If you find where the problem began, you can solve the problem. Become part of the solution or be part of the problem. Kids can deal with other kids, but what do you do when the adult we tell them to respect is the bully chasing them around these streets?
