Project Baltimore, an investigative reporting series conducted by a local Fox affiliate in Baltimore City, has sifted through over a decade of high school records and discovered that attendance at city high schools in 2017 suddenly dropped to a 13-year low of just 76%. Just to state the obvious, the average high school in Maryland has around 1,200 students so that means that, on an average day, nearly 300 of them don't bother to show up.
Adding insult to injury, Baltimore City Police Spokesman T.J. Smith told Fox 45 that it's no coincidence that violent crime is spiking in the city just as more and more teenagers are opting to skip class.
From violent attacks on Halloween night, to a terrifying carjacking and a man pushed into the Inner Harbor. Baltimore City is under siege by criminals that, police say, are teenagers.
“Every single one of them involve juveniles, who are all walking the streets today because they are probably not in school, where they belong.”

ReplyDeleteYeah, give Freddie Gray's family (the drug mule) $6M and put the kids in FREE college. THAT is the answer! There could possibly be crime after that. Remember the movie series "Death Wish"?
