                The topic of child abused and neglect really interested me after Mia introduced me to it.  She explained that there were 1, 593 kids abused in 2012. This topic really interested me because I feel really bad for those kids getting abused. I wonder why the parents of those kids abuse them. I wonder if it's because of drinking too much, or if they simply don't like their child. If they don't like their child, then I think that is just really sad. The child should be put in foster care where he/she could join a family that loves them. Mia told me a couple signs that a kid is getting abused. One of them was unexplained injuries. I wonder how many more signs there are.

                 The Baltimore Riots is another topic that interested me after both Devin and Diana explained to me more of what it is. They said that people were mad after a Freddie Gray died in the
custody of the police. Freddie Gray died of a spinal injury. Still mad, people began to start lighting stuff on fire. There were 144 car fires and 15 structural fires.

               The topic of the Baltimore Riots interested me because I believe that neither side is right. The police should've checked the man. The police's job is to keep thing under control and safe. I believe they already had Freddie Gray in their custody, so it wouldn't have hurt the police to make sure he is ok. I also believe that the people have a right to get mad. When they do get mad, I believe that they can protest peacefully. People don't have to go around burning buildings and cars. Burning cars and buildings won't bring back Freddie Gray or any other person that has died in the custody of the police.

  1. According to my article it's because the parent was abused when they were little and they feel that their child should go through what they did. Also, if they are like you said under the influence or going through withdrawals. It is a very sad thing to consider about how many of them were under one.

    I agree with you about the police situation. I feel they should have checked him and buckled him in. No matter if he was or not convicted of something. Great blog!
