It's on the parents. There is no reason a child that age isn't with their parents at that hour.

Condemning the violence certainly hasn't stopped the violence 😡 💔🙏

I'm sorry for your loss.
The Only people that can stop this, are the people doing this...

Why was a 12 year old, in a park, After Curfew, amidst a bunch of fools causing problems??? Smh

Who lets their child out to illegally loiter at night?

[lovebugg]

He was only 12. Please stop the violence

This is what a community looks like when it is imploding on itself. Where were the parents in all of this? How do they allow their kids to have the freedom to be out if they have not taught them how to act?

Where are those parents when 12 years old wondering on the streets. Busy doing nails, lashes, hair???

Was this child part of the group that was confronting each other or was he an innocent bystander with his parents?

That's why you should vote Trump 2024

Try to encourage young ladies to stop having multiple baby daddies, and start focusing on creating strong black families. The kids will probably start having productive outcomes if they are not born into poverty and raised in good communities.
