The Late Social Activist & Concerned American Citizen Sandra Bland Speaks About A Culture of Child Abuse, Neglect & Maltreatment Harming Her Neighbor’s Quality of Life
Video — The late Ms. Sandra Bland declares “War on Gang-bangers and Thugs.”
sandrA few months before leaving us, social activist Sandra Bland recorded a video declaring “War on Gang-bangers and Thugs” she believes have negatively impacted her Quality of Life as well as harming the emotional and physical well being of far too many peaceful people residing or working in American communities from coast to coast.
Essentially Sandra was speaking about America’s Culture of African American Child Abuse, Neglect and Maltreatment evolving from America’s long standing, ignorant Culture of Racism that for more than two generations has deprived untold numbers of American kids from experiencing a fairly or wonderfully happy American kid childhood with Safe Streets to travel and play on.

It appears Sandra was expressing her concerns about a Culture of Child Abuse, Emotional Neglect/Abandonment and Maltreatment that is primarily responsible for our prisons and far too many American communities being populated by depressed, angry, frustrated, undisciplined, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults (NY Times May 18, 2015 — Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers) full (of half full) of resentment for irresponsibly being introduced to a childhood life fraught with hardships, struggles, FEAR, pain, torment, demeaning government handouts, uncertainty and depression.
The same Culture of African American Child Abuse, Neglect and Maltreatment responsible for popular American Urban storytellers Kendrick Lamar and the late Tupac Shakur vividly describing the “m.A.A.d. City” and “T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. Child Abusing Cultures, that through no fault of their own, deprived these American men, their childhood friends, as well as many of their elementary and JHS classmates from experiencing a SAFE, fairly or wonderfully happy American kid childhood.
Sadly the criminal child abuse and emotional abandonment each of these men experienced during a critical period of human/childhood development resulted with them maturing into teens and adults speaking in public about experiencing acute depression as well as Suicidal Thoughts for most of their lives.
The same Culture of African American Child Abuse, Neglect and Maltreatment responsible for significant numbers of popular American music performers and urban storytellers, for more than 30 years, creating and performing popular American art informing American society as well as our neighbors worldwide that American teen girls and women, aka the MATERNAL HALF of our population, should be viewed as less than human *itches and & *hores or ‘hoes’ unworthy of basic human respect.
Unfortunately, it’s plainly evident Kendrick, Tupac as well as untold numbers of American children are being raised and nurtured by moms experiencing some type of illness preventing and impeding them from embracing and following their innate, natural maternal instinct to protect their child or children from harm.
Perhaps I’m wrong but *something* is preventing significant numbers of American moms from embracing a mother’s natural instinct and urge to place theirs, or any child’s emotional well-being Above All Else!!!
Tupac shares his #T_H_U_G_L_I_F_E Child Abuse, Neglect, Maltreatment AWARENESS concept, as well as words of wisdom intelligently offering A SPECIFIC solution for improving the Quality of Childhood Life for American kids born to American women still struggling with emotional issues related to America’s ignorant Culture of Racism.
“The Hate U Give Little Infants Fvvks Everyone” ~Tupac Shakur
”We need more people who care; you know what I’m saying? We need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that…“ ~Tupac Shakur
After listening to several of Ms. Bland’s video broadcasts I have few doubts she believed parents, especially single parents attempting to take on the extraordinary challenges and burdens of raising children in communities populated by a significant number of emotionally abandon depressed children, have a moral & ethical RESPONSIBILITY/DUTY/OBLIGATION to their children, as well as a societal duty and obligation to their neighbors and community to place ABOVE ALL ELSE the emotional well being of OUR NATION’S most valuable, precious and cherished assets.
Did anyone hear or seriously consider Sandra’s passionate plea for peace…or listen to Sandra’s other videos calling for peace and unity?
Brooklyn Gang Member ‘Little Carmen’ Speaks About Child Neglect
In this Fair Use clip from a documentary about NYC gangs in the 70s, proud gang member Little Carmen tells the interviewer,
“Like our family wasn’t really there for us, so our family was the gang.”
American urban storyteller and recording artist Thirstin Howl III explains,
“My mother’s whole life was, ya know, crime and robbery.”
Sadly, it appears an overwhelming majority of RESPONSIBLE, caring, concerned, loving Americans refuse to recognize that Little Carmen, Thirstin Howl III and most of the people appearing in this documentary are victims of America’s expanding Culture of Childhood Abuse, Neglect & Maltreatment.
Little Carmen speaks about her mom and/or dad emotionally abandoning her. >>Child Abuse/Neglect/Maltreatment<<
Thirstin Howl speaks about being raised by a “living wild” mom, much like repeat White House guest Kendrick Lamar’ a “living wild” mom. >>Child Abuse/Neglect/Maltreatment<<
At the 2015 BET Awards, 28-year-old Obama friend Kendrick Lamar, a victim of CRIMINAL early childhood trauma/abuse/neglect/maltreatment perpetrated by violent felon family members who exposed him, his siblings & numerous cousins to gun violence & other life threatening anti-social behaviors, performed these lyrics for a world wide audience,
“AND WE HATE THE PO-PO, WANNA KILL US DEAD IN THE STREET FO’ SHO.”
In his 2015 Grammy award winning Rap Performance titled “I”, Kendrick Lamar writes, *”I’ve been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent.”*
In paragraph eight of a January 20, 2011 LAWeekly interview published online Kendrick, born in 1987, the same year songwriter Suzanne Vega wrote a Grammy nominated song about child abuse and *VICTIM DENIAL*, told the interviewer:
*”Lamar’s parents moved from Chicago to Compton in 1984 with all of $500 in their pockets.”
“My mom’s one of 13 [THIRTEEN] siblings, and they all got SIX kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton,” he says.”
*”I’M 6 YEARS OLD, SEEIN’ MY UNCLES PLAYING WITH SHOTGUNS, SELLIN’ DOPE IN FRONT OF THE APARTMENT”*
“My moms and pops never said nothing, ’cause they were young and living wild, too. I got about 15 stories like ‘Average Joe.’”
Kendrick candidly reveals witnessing daily the roots of POVERTY, MASS CRIMINAL CHILD ABUSE & MALTREATMENT, UNJUST HUMAN OPPRESSION, violent, emotionally ill/disturbed felon family & community GANG members who intentionally & recklessly ignored the emotional and physical well being of their children, UNJUSTLY depriving American kids from enjoying a home and community environment where their young minds feel SAFE, loved & cared for.
During a December 29, 2015 NPR interview, Kendrick recalls being a FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD witnessing his “FIRST” drug related “shotgun” homicide right outside the home where he, his siblings and numerous cousins were unjustly OPPRESSED & intentionally denied by their criminal primary child caretakers, their human right as well as absolute HUMAN NEED to feel SAFE, loved and cared for during critical period of OUR human/childhood development.
Rapper KENDRICK LAMAR was just five years old when he witnessed a drug dealer getting shot outside his home in Compton…blog.chron.com
No small wonder why Kendrick raps & speaks about childhood & adult depression, as well as experiencing suicidal thoughts.

If responsible, caring concerned Americans sincerely wish to reduce police fear and anxiety that sometimes leads to police misconduct and/or aggression, the question all concerned, compassionate Americans should seriously be asking ourselves, our elected, civil, social, community and religious leaders is, “What real substantial changes in our society’s attitude and child protection laws need to occur to PREVENT abuse that often causes young kids to mature into depressed, frustrated, angry teens and adults as a result of experiencing the emotional and/or physical trauma of an abusive childhood?”
Peace.
“Blood is always thicker then water but not in her life,” the post said. “It’s like me and my little brother don’t exist in her world.”

“Mark’s life was doomed from even before he was born,” says Mark Fregia’s mother, Susan Armstrong Pittman.
“I took his childhood away,” says Susan who feels that Mark took care of her more than she him. “I was selfish,” she reiterates, “I just looked out for myself and didn’t attend to Mark’s needs as I should have. Mark was always taking care of me. He became more of a parent than a son. He was my little husband. I wasn’t a parent to him.”

Doctors Ross and Dietz offer insights into how our Early Childhood Development plays a key role in determining the type of individual we mature into.
Robert K. Ross, MD, President and CEO of The California Endowment, addressed inmates at Ironwood State Prison offering a compelling overview of the role that exposure to *Childhood Trauma* plays in the lives of *Emotionally Troubled* and chronically ill American teens and adults.
Speaking with Mafia hit-man and victim of Early Criminal Childhood Trauma/Abuse Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski, Dr. Park Dietz explains why Richard most likely developed into a emotionally disturbed, paranoid, cruel, heartless teen and man who did not give a frig about anyone else, including his wife and kids.

During the twelve years I was a Brooklyn, NY cop I often asked myself,
“I wonder how many of my RESPONSIBLE, caring, concerned, loving American neighbors are aware a significant number of our peaceful neighbors and their children EXPERIENCE emotional trauma, FEAR, and genuine concerns for the personal SAFETY as they fall asleep at bedtime counting nearby or distant gunshots instead of sheep, Gummy Bears, or my personal fav, thatched wooden baskets filled with Newfoundland puppies?”
